If you know where you are going, you will not be distracted by

If you know where you are going, you will not be distracted by billboards along the road.
Xian'er says so: Don’t forget your goal in life.
Xian’er drove Shifu and Xianyi to the airport.
During the drive, Xian’er asked Shifu:
Shifu, why is it that once Wang Xiaowu complains about my ice cream,

I don’t want to make it anymore. Why is it once
Zhao Xiaocui complains about my chanting,
I don’t want to chant any more.
Why is it once Zhang Xiaosi talks about you never taking me abroad,

I don’t want to go abroad any more.
Why is it once Boss Qian says that I will never be a great monk,

I don’t work hard anymore.
Why?
Shifu asked: What have you seen along the road?
Xian’er answered: I see many billboards.

But Shifu, you didn’t answer my question but you asked me what I saw?
Below are quoted from my Shifu’s new book, Say Good Things—Master Xuecheng’s insight on the path to speaking like a Buddha. 
In life we are often influenced by others’ attitude and actions such that we change our mind and our deeds.
This is just like being attracted by billboard while driving.

We forget where we are going.
It is of great importance to know whom you want to become and where you are going.

This, however, is what many of us are lacking.

看准了自己的路，便不会被路旁的广告牌吸引
贤二如是说：不要忘记人生目标
贤二开车送师父和贤一去机场，
路上问师父：“师父，
为什么王小五一说我的冰激凌做的不好吃，
我就不想做了。
为什么赵小翠一说我念经念的不好听，
我就不想念了。
为什么张小四一说师父您永远也不会带我出国，
我就真的不想出国了。
为什么钱老板一说我永远当不了大和尚，
我就不要学好了。
这是为什么呢？”
师父说：“你一路上都看到了什么？”
贤二说：“一路上看到了很多广告牌。
师父，您为什么不回答我的问题，
却问我路上看到了什么呢？”
 以下来自我师父的《好好说话》
我们在生活中为人处事，
却往往被他人的态度和行为
改变了自己的心情和做法，
这种情况就犹如开车时被路边广告牌吸引，
而忘记了自己要去何处一样。
知道自己要做一个什么样的人，
该去向何处，
极为重要，
但却是许多人所缺乏的。
