The story goes like this:

There are two monks in Shu, one is poor and the other is rich.

The poor man said to the rich man, "What do I want in the South China Sea?"

The rich man said, "Why should I go?"

He said, "One bottle and one bowl is enough for me."

The rich man said, "I have always wanted to buy a boat for many years, but I have never been able to buy it." Why don't I go! " "

Next year, the poor will come back from the South China Sea to tell the rich.

The rich are ashamed.

I don't know how many miles it takes to get to the South China Sea.

People's aspirations are not as good as humble monks. "

(translation)

There are two monks in the remote mountainous area of Sichuan, one is poor and the other is rich.

One day, the poor monk said to the rich monk, "I want to go to the South China Sea to worship Buddha. Do you think so? " The rich monk said, "What are you going to do?" The poor monk said, "I just need a water bottle and a rice bowl." Rich monk disagreed: "I wanted to rent a boat to the South China Sea a few years ago, but I haven't been able to rent it yet;" Why can I go! "

But the next year, the poor monk came back from the South China Sea to worship Buddha. When the rich monk told him about the trip, he felt very ashamed. I don't know how many miles it is from Sichuan to the South China Sea, but the poor monk can get there. It is the will that determines the success or failure of things. I am determined to be like this Sichuan monk.

One man's ambition is not as good as a monk in Shu.

People generally refer to people, antiquity and conjunctions in classical Chinese, including "but", "but" and "harmony". These two sentences can be read as follows: people are not as firm as Sichuan monks when they make up their minds. "
