B
One day, a master asked his two students, Jack and Nick, to meet him at the start of a road in a forest.
When they arrived, the master said, “You both have to start here and reach the end point of this road. It doesn’t matter how long it will take. ” Then, the two started. Just after a while, they found the road was divided into two. Jack decided to follow the smooth one, while Nick followed the other one which was full of obstacles.
Jack completed the test soon. It took Nick a long time to reach the end point. When Nick finished, Jack said proudly, “How clever I was! I avoided all the obstacles of the other road. ” The master smiled and told them to join him the next day. This time, they met near a ravine(沟壑). The master said, “You need to jump to the other side of the ravine. ”
When Jack noticed the width of the ravine, he didn’t have the courage to jump as he had never done that before. Nick, however, remembered his last test and how he had jumped over wide gap(裂口). With little effort, he made it.
Then, the master said to Jack, “Life is full of challenges. In yesterday’s test, choosing the difficult path could have helped you prepare for this one. When you choose the easier path, you complete that test easily, but you will not be able to pass more difficult ones. ”
