Once upon a time, two hungry people received the gift of an elder: a fishing rod and a basket of large and fresh fish. Among them, one person asked for a basket of fish, the other person asked for a fishing rod, so they parted ways.
The person who got the fish used dry wood to set up a bonfire and boiled the fish. He gobbled it up, and he hadn't tasted the meaty smell of fresh fish. In a flash, even the fish with soup was eaten up by him. Soon, he ate it. Starved to death by the empty fish basket. The other person carried a fishing rod and continued to endure hunger, and walked arduously to the beach, but when he had seen the blue ocean not far away, his last bit of strength was exhausted. He can only let go of the world with endless regrets.
There are two more hungry people. They also received a fishing rod and a basket of fishes gifted by the elder. It's just that they did not go to their own things, but agreed to find the sea together. They only boiled one fish at a time. After a long trek, they came to the seaside. From then on, the two started fishing for a living. Later, they built houses, had their own families and children, had their own fishing boats, and lived a happy and healthy life.
A person who only cares about the immediate interests will eventually get short-term joy; a person has a lofty goal, but also faces the reality of life. Only by organically combining ideals with reality can you become a successful person. Sometimes, a simple truth is enough to give people meaningful life enlightenment.
