The grander an aspiration is, the more challenges one encounters

The grander an aspiration is, the more challenges one encounters.
【Xian’er says so:  “What is the key to success?”】
Shifu gave Xian’er lots of guidance.
Xian’er kept them in mind and wanted to shoot an animated movie such that more people would benefit.
But Xian’er had no money, no equipment, no studio, and even no actors.
He wanted to give up.
Shifu told Xian’er to find ways to solve the problem.
Xian’er then found Zhao Xiaocui and borrowed a selfie stick.
He started filming himself everyday and put it on show.
This is how Xian’er cartoon series are made. Below are quoted from my Shifu’s new book, Say Good Things—Master Xuecheng’s insight on the path to speaking like a Buddha.
The grander an aspiration is, the more challenges one encounters.
The key to success lies in the choice to advance or retreat under difficult conditions.
If you accept adversity and work to change it, it’ll toughen your will.
If you escape from and complain about it,it’ll destroy your will. 

一个人的愿力越大，阻力就越大

【贤二如是说：什么是成败的关键】

贤二的师父给了贤二很多的教诲，
贤二都记在心里，想拍成动画片，
让更多的人都受益，但是没有钱，
也没有设备，也没有场地，
最关键的是，没有演员。
贤二就想放弃了。
师父告诉贤二，你要自己想办法，克服困难。
贤二就找赵小翠，化缘了一个自拍杆，
每天拍自己，连续播放，
这就是贤二动画片的由来。

| 以下来自我师父的《好好说话》|
要知道，一个人的愿力越大，阻力就越大，
而成败的关键在于是知难而退还是知难而进，
你若接受逆境，试着去改变它，
它会历练你的意志；
你若逃避它，抱怨它，
它会加倍消减你的能量。
