I believe many friends have heard the story of "pony crossing the river". There lived an old horse and a pony in the stable. One day, the old horse said to the little horse, "you have grown up. Can you do something for your mother?" The pony said, "why not? I'd like to help you." The old horse said happily, "well, take this half bag of wheat to the mill."
The pony picked up its pocket and ran quickly to the mill. Running, a small river blocked the way, and the river flowed. The pony was embarrassed and thought: can I go there? If mom is around, ask her what to do, that's great! But it's far from home. The pony looked around and saw an old cow eating grass by the river. The pony ran over and asked, "Uncle Niu, please tell me, can I cross this river?" The old cow said, "the water is very shallow. I just have no legs. I can wade through it."
After listening to the old cow, the pony immediately ran to the river and was ready to go. Suddenly, a squirrel jumped down from the tree, stopped him and shouted, "pony! Don't cross the river, don't cross the river, you'll drown!" The pony was surprised and asked, "is the water deep?" The squirrel said seriously, "it's very deep! Yesterday, one of my friends fell and drowned in this river!" The pony quickly stopped and didn't know what to do. He sighed and said, "Alas! I'd better go home and ask my mother!"
The pony wagged its tail and ran home. His mother asked him, "Why are you back?" The pony said in embarrassment, "a river is blocking the way. I... I can't cross it." Mother said, "isn't that river very shallow?" The pony said, "yes! Uncle Niu said so. But the squirrel said the river was deep and drowned his partner!" Mother said, "so is the river deep or shallow? Have you thought about what they said?" The pony lowered his head and said, "no... I didn't think about it." Mother kindly said to the little horse, "son, just listen to others and don't use your head. You can't go without trying. The river is deep or shallow. You'll know if you try." The pony ran to the river and just raised its front hoof, the squirrel shouted again, "why? You don't want your life!" The pony said, "let me try!" He went down the river and waded carefully across the river. It turned out that the river was neither as shallow as the old cow said nor as deep as the squirrel said.
Sentiment: different people experience the same thing, and the results are different. Therefore, what others say can only be used as suggestions. Whether it is beneficial or not, you have to try it yourself. The philosophy of this story can be used equally in work and life. And a thing will never sound the same as it does. It is important to listen to others' opinions. But you should know that people are different. If others can't, it doesn't mean you can't. do it! Try not to know. The so-called absolute knowledge needs to be practiced and done by yourself in order to have a deeper understanding. Maybe the result does not meet your expectations, but you may have unexpected gains.
