Once upon a time, there was a wrestling expert who mastered the 360 unique wrestling skills, and nobody could defeat him.
When his favorite pupil learned all the unique skills, he defeated many wrestlers.To everybody's surprise, the pupil bragged before the king, \"The expert is my senior and was once my teacher.But my wrestling skills equal his, for I also learned the 360 unique ones.\"
Hearing his words, the king commanded the teacher and the pupil to put on a wrestling match. The king invited many of the country's noted people to attend the match.
As soon as the match began, the pupil threw himself wildly at the teacher, as if he could easily lift and cast away a mountain. The pupil was just being pleased with himself when the teacher lightly dodged and swiftly lifted him up by the waist and threw him on the ground.The audience gave the teacher thunderous applause.
The king ordered handsome reward to be given to the teacher on the one hand, and on the other rebuked the pu- pil, \"You haven't yet mastered your skill.Now dare you brag before me!\"
The pupil,extremely embarrassed,tried to defend himself, \"I was defeated by my teacher simply because he didn't teach me all the unique skills.\"
Now the teacher gently smiled and said, \"You have learned all the 360 unique skills of mine.Unfortunately you did not know how to apply them to different situations. Knowing them is far from mastering them.\"
從前有一個摔跤大師,精通360種摔跤絕技,沒有人能贏他。
他最得意的徒弟學了所有的這些絕技后,打敗過很多對手。令人吃驚的是這個徒弟在國王面前夸起??趤?“摔跤大師是我的長輩,也教過我,但是我的摔跤技術和他一樣高超,因為我也掌握了360個絕技?!?/p>
國王聽了他的話,就命令師徒二人進行一場摔跤比賽。
國王邀請了很多知名人士到場觀看。
比賽剛一開始,徒弟就向師傅猛撲過去,看那陣勢好像他能輕而易舉地提起大山一起扔出去似的。正當徒弟得意洋洋的時候,師傅輕輕一閃,迅速地一把抓住徒弟的腰把他舉起,摔在地上。觀眾掌聲雷動。
國王一面吩咐厚賞老師,一面斥責徒弟:“你的本領還沒有學到家,怎么敢在我面前夸口!”
徒弟窘態(tài)十足,竭力辯解道:“師傅沒有把他的絕技全部教給我,所以我敗在他手下了?!?/p>
這時,師傅溫和地笑了笑說:“我的360個絕技你已經(jīng)全部學完了??上氵€沒有學會怎樣靈活地運用它。學了絕技并不等于掌握了絕技?!?/p>
