Whatever comes, face it; whatever goes, let it go 事来则应，事去不留

Whatever comes, face it; whatever goes, let it go.

【Xian’er says so: “I’m gonna break down!” 】

One morning, Xian’er saw Xianyi and said,
“Don’t talk to me. If you start talking, I am gonna collapse.”
Xianyi said: “Did I do something wrong?”
Xian’er responded: “Shifu asked me to clean 22 toilets, 22 urinals, and repair 2 broken toilet rings.

In addition, he asked me to make 22 buckets of ice cream, learn cooking from Xianwu, study English and African history, and act as the main character in a cartoon.

Now that I remember it was like this last year.

Shifu only mentioned one thing,

where that last straw was. I was completely broken down.”
This year, history repeats itself,
and I’m afraid that you are going to ask something of me.  
Next year, I won't be able to come out of this crazy cycle.
I’m gonna break down.

Below are quoted from my Shifu’s new book, Say Good Things—Master Xuecheng’s insight on the path to speaking like a Buddha.
Whatever comes, face it; whatever goes, let it go.
When there are a lot to do, try not let it burden your mind.
Focus on the one thing that you are doing,
Not on what you have done in the past,
Nor on what you are about to do in the future.

事来则应，事去不留

【贤二如是说：我要崩溃了 】

贤二早上看见贤一，
对贤一说：“你不要跟我讲话，
只要你一开口，我就崩溃给你看。”
贤一说:“人家做错了什么了吗？”
贤二说：“师父让我刷22个马桶，
22个小便池，修2个坏了的马桶垫，
还要做22桶冰激凌，还要跟贤五学做饭，
还要学英文，还要学非洲历史，
还要主演动画片，还有我想起来，
去年我也是这样，手上好多事情，
师父就说了一句，贤二，
那根稻草呢？我就崩溃了。”
今年，又要重蹈覆辙，
我生怕你再跟我提什么要求。
明年，我还是走不出这个怪圈。
我就要崩溃了。

以下来自我师父的《好好说话》
事来则应，事去不留；
手中事多，心上事少。
做事的时候专注眼前一件事，
不要想着做过的事，
也不要想着还没有做的事。
