In ancient times, a king had a big stone placed on a roadway. He wanted to see if anyone would move the stone out of the way. Some of the king's richest business men and courtiers (朝臣) came by and just walked around it.

Many people even loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them did anything about getting the stone out of the way. They just complained and went away.

A farmer then came along carrying a large bag of vegetables. When getting closer to the stone the farmer laid down his bag and tried to push the stone out of the road. After trying and pushing for long time, he finally. succeeded.

After the farmer went back to pick up his vegetables, he noticed a wallet lying in the road where the stone had been. In the wallet there were many gold coins and a note from the king explaining that the gold was for the person who moved the stone from the roadway.

If you were on the way, what would you do? Complain it or move it away? Every difficulty we come across in life gives us an opportunity to improve our situations, and while the lazy people complain, the others are creating opportunities through their kind hearts, generosity (慷慨大方) and willingness to get things done.
