Striving not for the outcome, rather to persevereduring the process.
【Xian’ersays so: “Progressing during the process.”】
While making an animated film for the coming Children’s Day,
Xian’er met many difficulties.
It seemed that everything was problematic.
Xian’er became depressed.
“If I cannot make it on time, I will lose face.
It would be a shame if it is not well done.
If the story is not engaging, Shifu will not think much of me.
And it would be even less likely for him to take me abroad.”
Xian’er found himself in a serious predicament.
Sitting in meditation that night,
A flash of insight struck Xian’er
The insight came not from a book, but from his own mind,
It goes like this: “If I don’t do well,will Shifu shoot me to death? Of coursenot! ”
Later, Xian’er found the following passage from Shifu’s book.
Below are quotedfrom my Shifu’s new book, Say Good Things—Master Xuecheng’s insight on the pathto speaking like a Buddha.
Striving not for the outcome, rather to persevere during the process.
Our path in life is not determined by a single event.
Through various circumstances we train our mind.
Inner growth during the process is the most valuable asset for the future.
不是为了结果努力,而是要为了这个过程坚持
【贤二如是说:在过程中成长】
贤二做动画片,准备六一播出,
但是遇到了很多困难,
到处都是问题,
贤二就很郁闷。
如果做不出来,那该多没有面子啊,
如果做不好,那该多丢人啊,
如果故事不精彩,
那师父肯定就看不上我了,
以后就更不可能带我出国了。
贤二陷入了无比纠结模式中,
可是,当天晚上,静坐的时候,
忽然灵光乍现,想起了一句话,
不是书里的,是自己想出来的,
这句话是:如果我做不好,
师父会不会把我拉出去毙了?
当然不会啦。于是,
贤二就又在师父的书里找到了这样一段话。
以下来自我师父的《好好说话》
不是为了结果而努力,
要为了这个过程而坚持。
人生的路不是由一件事情决定的
但每一个境界中都能够历练自己的心,
通过这个过程收获的内心成长,
才是对更长远的未来最有价值的财富。
