【山雞與鳳凰 Pheasant and Phoenix】
A person in the state of Chu, trying to sell his pheasant, lied to people by saying that what was in his hand was a phoenix.
一個楚國人為了把山雞賣出去，謊稱自己手裡拿的是一隻鳳凰。
A passerby believed him and bought it for twenty pieces of gold.
一個過路人相信了他的話，拿出二十金把它買了下來。
The passerby wanted to present it to the king of the state of Chu. But out of his expectation, the pheasant died the next day. The passerby did not value the money but regret that he could not present it to the king. This story went around the whole country, and every one believed that it was a true phoenix. Hearing of this
過路人想把鳳凰獻給楚王，沒想到過了一夜，山雞就死了。過路人並不痛惜金錢，只恨自己沒能把鳳凰獻給楚王。這件事在全國傳開，人們都以為那山雞是隻真鳳凰。
The king of the state of Chu was moved by the loyalty of his subjects. The king then called in the man who had wanted to present the phoenix, and gave him awards that were worth ten times the money he had paid for the pheasant.
楚王得知這件事後，也被臣民的一片忠心所感動，於是召見了要獻鳳凰的人，給了他買鳳凰十倍的賞賜。
【虛弱或強度】
Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take, for example, the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judodespite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.
有時你最大的弱點可以成為你最大的力量。採取，例如，一個10歲的男孩誰決定研究judodespite的事實，他在一場車禍中失去了左臂的故事。
The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldnt understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.
他師從一位年長的日本柔道大師。他做得很好，但他不明白為什麼，經過三個月的培訓，老師只教他一個動作。
;Sensei,; the boy finally said, ;shouldnt I be learning more moves?;
老師，男孩最後說，我不能學習更多的動作?
;This is the only move you know, but this is the only move youll ever need to know,; the sensei replied.
這是你所知道的'唯一的動作，但這是你唯一需要知道的動作，老師回答道。
Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.
不太瞭解，但在他的老師認為，男孩繼續訓練。
Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament.
幾個月後，老師帶他去參加他的第一次比賽。
Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly(熟練地) used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.
令人驚奇的是，他輕鬆地贏了頭兩場比賽。第三場比賽似乎更難，但經過一段時間後，他的對手開始心浮氣躁;男孩靈巧(熟練地)用他一的一招贏得了比賽。更令人驚訝的是，這個男孩現在在總決賽。
This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened.
這一次，他的對手更大，更強，更有經驗。一會兒，男孩就顯得有點力不從心。考慮到男孩可能會受傷，裁判叫了暫停。他正準備停止比賽的時候，老師干預。
;No,; the sensei insisted, ;Let him continue.;
不，老師說，讓他繼續。
Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.
比賽重新開始不久，他的對手犯了一個致命的錯誤：他防守。瞬間，男孩用自己的行動向他的腳。男孩贏得了比賽。他是冠軍。在回家的路上，回顧了每場比賽中的每個動作的孩子和老師。男孩終於鼓起勇氣問了心中的疑惑。
;Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?;
師傅，我怎麼會用一個動作就贏得了這場比賽?
;You won for two reasons,; the sensei answered. ;First, youve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.;
你獲勝有兩個原因，師傅回答說。第一，你已經基本掌握了一個柔道最難動作。第二，唯一已知的防禦動作，被對手抓住你的左手。
The boys biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.
男孩最大的弱點變成了他最大的優勢。
