Once upon a time, a teacher asked her students a question: "Imagine someone is boiling water, but in the middle of the process, they realize they don't have enough firewood. What should they do?"
Some students said they should go and find more wood, while others suggested borrowing or buying some.
The teacher then said, "Why don't they pour out some water from the pot?" The students suddenly realized the wisdom in her words.
In life, we can't always get everything we want. Sometimes, we need to let go of some things to gain others. As we grow older, our energy becomes more limited, so it's better to focus on the people and things we truly love.
从前，一位老师问她的学生一个问题：“设想有人正在烧水，但是烧到一半时他们发现柴不够了。他们该怎么办?”
一些学生说他们应该去寻找更多的木材，而其他人则建议借或者买一些。
老师接着说：“为什么他们不从壶里倒出一些水呢?”学生们突然领悟到了她话中的智慧。
在生活中，我们不可能总是得到我们想要的一切。有时，我们需要放手一些东西才能获得其他东西。随着我们年龄的增长，我们的精力变得越来越有限，所以最好是把精力集中在真正爱的人和事情上。
