Three Bucket Stories: Simple Yet Profound, Influencing a Lifetime!
There was a carpenter who chopped down a tree,
and made three wooden barrels out of it.
One was used for manure, called the dung barrel, shunned by all;
one was used for water, called the water barrel, used by all;
one was used for wine, called the wine barrel, enjoyed by all.
The barrels were the same,
because of what they contained,
their fates were different.
Life is just like this.
Wolves travel a thousand miles for meat,
horses travel a thousand miles for grass,
live fish swim upstream,
dead fish drift with the current.
Hard work is the key;
change is destiny;
endurance is training;
tolerance is wisdom;
quietness is meditation;
sacrifice is gain;
doing is possession.
If you feel tired at this moment,
tell yourself:
easy paths always go downhill,
persevere!
because you are climbing uphill!

Beer said:
don't be discouraged, there will always be times when you are overlooked.
Bread said:
it is more fulfilling when it's small;
after becoming great, it feels empty.
Fried dough said:
it won't mature without hardship,
constant hardship will make it an old fried dough.
Success needs:
a master's guidance,
a friend's understanding,
a distant person's inspiration,
a close person's support.
Maybe this is life!
