The Slayer of Dragons

The slayer of dragons

Zhuangzi, the famous Chinese writer, tells the story of Zhu Pingman, who went in search of a teacher in order to learn the best way to slay dragons.

The teacher trained Pingman for ten whole years, until he had honed to perfection the most sophisticated dragon-slaying techniques.
Pingman spent the rest of his life looking for dragons in order show off his skills: to his great disappointment, he never found a single dragon.

The writer of the story comments: 'We all prepare ourselves to slay dragons, but end up instead being devoured by the ants of the details that we never bothered to look at.'

 

walo simpel tapi cukup dalam pesannya, cerita yang singkat, padat dan jelas, ich4n like it lah
emang kebanyakan kita terlalu mengejar hal" besar yang belum tentu bisa dicapai yang akhirnya ngebuat kita sendiri kecewa dan hancur. Padahal pencapaian sekecil apapun harusnya kita hargai
begitu bukan maksudnya
