Celebrities who keep learning:

Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty was a well-known young talent with profound knowledge when he was young. After a long time, he became complacent. One day, Su Dongpo posted a couplet on the door of his study:

"Know all the words in the world"

"Read all the books on earth"

Su Dongpo's father, Su Xun, saw it, worried that his son was too arrogant and didn't know how to make progress, and he was afraid that tearing up couplets would hurt his son's self-esteem. So he began to write and added two words to the couplet:

"Make up your mind to know all the words in the world"

"Determined to read all the books on earth"

Su Dongpo was very ashamed when he came back to see his father's handwriting. From then on, he studied with an open mind and made extraordinary achievements.

Once upon a time, there was a young monk who left his hometown to look for famous teachers everywhere and wanted to get some real cultivation. Later, he finally found a monk; And begged master to accept him as an apprentice. Seeing that he was sincere and talented, the monk accepted him. Two years later, the young monk thought he had learned a lot and got the true biography of Master. He didn't want to continue to fight with Master in Zen Buddhism, so he said goodbye to Master and wanted to go down the mountain. The monk understood the young monk's mind. Instead of stopping the young monk from going down the mountain, he asked the young monk to bring a bowl and then let him put some stones in it. The monk asked the young monk, "Is the pot full?" The young monk replied, "It's full. There is nothing left. " The monk grabbed a handful of sesame seeds and sprinkled them in, then shook the bowl, and soon the sesame seeds disappeared. Then the monk grabbed a handful of sesame seeds and sprinkled them in, shook the bowl, and the sesame seeds disappeared again. "Is the bowl full?" The monk asked the young monk again. The young monk said to the master in shame, "It looks full, but it can actually hold a lot of things." At this time, the monk took another cup and asked the young monk to pour water into it. Seeing that the glass was full, the young monk wanted to stop pouring water. The monk said, "Don't stop, keep pouring." As a result, after the bowl was filled with water, the excess water overflowed. At this time, the monk asked the young monk not to pour any more water, and then asked him, "Is there room for other things when the water is full?" The young monk understood Master's painstaking efforts and asked him to forgive his ignorance.
