Have your dreams been cut off by yourself?


The old professor asked: "If you go to the mountain to cut trees, there are two trees in front of you, one thick and the other thin. Which one would you cut?"

When the problem came out, everyone said: "Of course I cut the thick one."

The old professor smiled and said: "The thick one is just an ordinary poplar, and the thin one is red pine. Which one will you cut now?"

When we think about it, the red pine is more precious, and it says: "Of course, the red pine is cut, and the poplar is worthless!"

The old professor looked at us with a constant smile and asked: "If the poplar is straight, and the red pine is twisted, which one will you cut?"

We felt a little confused and said, "If this is the case, cut the poplar tree. If the red pine is curved, nothing can be done!"

The old professor’s eyes flashed. We suspected that he had to add conditions again. Sure enough, he said: “While the poplars are straight, they may be too long in the middle of the year. In the middle, which one will you cut?”

Although I couldn't understand what medicine the old professor sold in the gourd, we proceeded from the conditions he gave, saying: "That is still cutting pine, the poplar is empty, it is useless!"

The old professor immediately asked: "But the red pine is not hollow, but it is twisted too much. It is very difficult to cut. Which one would you cut?"

We simply do not consider what conclusions he wants to draw, and say: "Then cut the poplar. It is also useless, of course, it is easy to cut and cut!"

The old professor could not breathe and asked: "But there is a bird's nest above the poplar, and several young birds are hiding in the nest. Which one would you cut?"

Finally, someone asked: "Professor, what do you want to tell us? What to test?"

The old professor put away his smile and said, "Why don't you ask yourself why the tree is cut? Although my conditions are constantly changing, the final result depends on your initial motivation. If you want to take firewood, you will cut it. Poplar; if you want to be a craft, you will cut the pine. You will certainly not take the axe and cut the tree for no reason!"

A person only has a goal in mind, and will not be confused by various conditions and phenomena when doing things. Is your goal clear? Maybe you are tempted to re-purchase on the way you want to pursue, which is also a kind of sorrow!

Sticking to a dream is a valuable quality! Think about yourself persisting? Is your dream cut off by yourself?
