philosophical story "Difficult not to amplify" ~ The old woman who hikes 100 kilometers

In daily life, many difficulties are born because of our cowardice and timidity. When the thoughts of difficulties fill the mind, our eyes and actions will unconsciously betray us and show our weaknesses to others, and difficulties will really form.

If you focus on your goals and achieve them down-to-earth, difficulties may never come.

1985, Bosen, who had suffered from acrophobia. Ham climbed with bare hands and climbed the New York Empire Building more than 400 meters high, setting a Guinness record. After hearing the news, Ham's 94-year-old great-grandmother arrived on foot from Grass Paul, 100 kilometers away. The elderly should add color to the great-grandson's record-making activity in this way. Inadvertently, she set a world record for an elderly man hiking for hundreds of kilometers.

《New York Times 》A reporter asked when interviewing the old man: "Have you been shaken by age and other reasons when you came on foot?"

the old man said with a relaxed look: "Young man, run 100 in one breath Kilometers, that takes a lot of courage, but it doesn’t take courage to take one step. As long as you take one step after another, and then step after another, 100 kilometers will be completed."

The old man’s understatement was plain and simple, But it contains great wisdom to overcome difficulties in life. We always set difficulties on the opposite side of the ultimate goal, the mountain of goal, so high and so far. And the mountain of difficulties is also blocking us like that, overwhelmingly, as if it is so stressful that people cannot breathe.

However, when thinking from another perspective, what courage does it take to take a step? What courage does it take to complete part of the goal? We only have one goal, and those who can persevere can be carved with gold and stone. It’s a pity that many people were not considering the goals they wanted to achieve before taking steps, but were frightened by the imagined difficulties from the beginning.
