在一个宴会即将开宴的前夕,那位本该负责糖果雕刻的大师搞砸了雕刻艺术品。就在众人束手无策时,一个在厨房里干粗活的小男孩自信地说:“让我来试试吧!我会让您满意的。”小帮厨要了一块黄油,很快用其造出了一只卧踞的雄狮。宴会开始了,所有的客人都将目光落在那件艺术品上,人群中不时传来赞誉之声。当人们得知这只黄油狮子是由一个小帮厨短时间内完成的作品时,宴会顿时变成了对小男孩的赞美会。富有的主人当众宣布,将为小男孩支付学费聘请最优秀的老师来教他。但他并没有被好运冲昏头脑,依然是那个淳朴上进的男孩,并对自己的技艺愈加严格、精益求精。最终成就了世界上最伟大的雕刻家之一——安东尼·卡诺瓦。
与其说安东尼·卡诺瓦是一个被机遇眷顾的幸运儿,不如说他是一个机遇的把握者。能在短时间内用黄油雕刻出一个令众人赞誉的艺术品,正是因为他平常勤奋刻苦的练习。弱者坐等机遇降临,强者善于创造成功的机遇。我一直没有明白这句话的含义,认为如果不是别人给予的机遇,我又如何创造机遇呢?实则不然,认真做好日常生活中的每一件事,而不总想着偷懒,为自己积累知识经验就是为自己制造机遇。况且如果自己没有能力,机遇来临也是把握不住的。所以与其抱怨没有机遇降临,不如做好自己,把握时间,努力成为更好的自己。
On the eve of a banquet, the master who was supposed to be in charge of candy carving messed up the carving art. Just when everyone was at a loss, a little boy who was doing rough work in the kitchen said confidently: "Let me try it! I will satisfy you." The little helper asked for a piece of butter and quickly used it to make a piece of butter. A lying lion. The banquet began, and all the guests focused their attention on the work of art, and praises came from the crowd from time to time. When people learned that the butter lion was completed by a small cook in a short time, the banquet suddenly turned into a praise meeting for the little boy. The wealthy owner announced in public that he would pay the boy's tuition and hire the best teacher to teach him. But he did not let his good fortune go to his head. He was still the simple and motivated boy who became more strict and striving for perfection in his skills. The result was one of the world's greatest sculptors - Antoine Canova.
Rather than saying that Anthony Canova is a lucky man blessed by opportunities, it is better to say that he is a grasper of opportunities. He was able to carve a work of art out of butter in a short period of time, which was praised by everyone, precisely because of his usual diligent practice. The weak wait for opportunities to come, while the strong are good at creating opportunities for success. I have never understood the meaning of this sentence. I think if it is not an opportunity given by others, how can I create opportunities? In fact, this is not the case. Doing everything in your daily life seriously, instead of always thinking about being lazy, and accumulating knowledge and experience for yourself is to create opportunities for yourself. Moreover, if you don’t have the ability, you won’t be able to seize opportunities when they come. So instead of complaining that no opportunity comes, it is better to be yourself, seize the time, and strive to become a better version of yourself.
