The philosophy of green tea
There is a Peking University student who is eager for success, but in real life he repeatedly runs into a wall. He wrote a letter to Mr. Cai Yuanpei, then president of Peking University, hoping to get some guidance. After President Cai read the letter, he made an appointment to meet with the student.
The philosophy student of Green Tea entered the principal's office excitedly. Before he could speak, Principal Cai greeted with a smile: "Come, sit down, I will make you a cup of tea." After speaking, he got up, took out the tea from the drawer, put it in the cup and poured boiling water, and handed it to On the table in front of the students, he said kindly, "This is the best green tea. Try it."
The student held up the tea cup flattered, and saw the tea leaves floating sparsely on the water. The water was pale and white, and there was no green at all. He took a sip, which was like boiled water, without the taste of tea. The student's brow couldn't help but frown. Principal Cai ignored the expressions of the students, but casually talked with the students about some unpleasant topics. The student's expression was very unnatural, and finally waited until President Cai stopped, he stood up and wanted to say goodbye.
Principal Cai waved his hand and said, "What's the hurry? Drink the tea before leaving. This is a cup of superb green tea. What a waste of waste!" The students had to pick up the cup and continue to drink, but with this drink, a strong taste made the mouth full Fragrant! The student was stunned and looked at the cup in surprise: the tea leaves had sunk to the bottom of the cup, and the water in the cup was already green.
Principal Cai smiled and asked profoundly: "Do you understand?"
The student nodded immediately, and said happily: "I understand! What you mean is that the pursuit of success is like this green tea. You can't be impetuous and just stay on the surface. You must calm down and be serious and down-to-earth in everything. Just settle down!"
