Helping Sprouts To Grow An Inch Faster (©Þ]§Uªø) | ||||||||||||

November 3, 2002
Dear Richard, At the stage of learning, one needs to pay very much attention to listen and understand every single step of the task. Give enough thought and practice to build up a good foundation before moving forward. Be patient to follow instruction step by step. Don't jump ahead. Don't assume that you already know and not listening. Once upon a time, there was a village boy who started his farming on a rice field. He raked the soil and inserted rice sprouts evenly on rows. He worked very hard in watering and fertilizing the field. Day after day, the village boy found the sprouts growing. However, they were growing not as fast as what he wanted. He hoped that if he could get the rice grow faster and get them to market earlier than other farmers, he could have a good price. The village boy told himself that he would be happy even if his sprouts could have one inch taller than sprouts in other fields. He really ran out of ideas. He went to the field and pulled the sprouts one inch longer from the ground. He couldn't wait for the sprouts to grow that inch by themselves. Richard, do you know what happened? Being inpatient, he killed all his sprouts and ruined all his efforts. The village boy didn't know that the sprouts need the time to grow, nor did he listen to other people's advice. Richard, it is absolutely of no use to have the task done fast but wrong. The right thing is to take the time to do it correctly for the first few times and try to improve the speed and quality of it later. With love, Dad |
