LEARNING THE ART OF WALKING

Once upon a time, there lived in China a young man named Chuan. After being told that the people in Handan, the capital of state of Zhao, had an elegant way of walking, Chuan traveled all the way there to learn.

Arriving in the town of Handan, Chuan set about watching how the inhabitants there walk in street. He was well indulged in the study all day long; sometimes he followed one man walked this way and sometimes another man that way.

As time passed, Chuan felt more and more worried because he had not learned to walk as elegantly as the natives there. Even worse, in the end, Chuan found himself unable to walk in his own way. So he had no choice but to crawl home.

The message in this story is clear: Don’t make hasty – decisions nor pursue something which is unimportant.
