Waiting the blue sky appear

Waiting and clouds dissipate and the blue sky appear

The
original name was Liu Ji Liu buowen. He was born at the end of the Yuan
dynasty. At a young age, he handily passed the highest imperial examinations
and became an official in the royal court. Later, disillusioned by the tyranny
of the emperor he resigned his position. He returned health home and lived in
seclusion in the remote mountainous regions of the present province of Zhejiang.
He was an expert in military theory, politics, astronomy, geography and
history, and was famous in his hometown. In addition, Liu was a literary
achievement. He wrote a book called Yu Lizi. The book contains many fables
seeming to be as fun stories. Yet they have a deep meaning. One of the stories
is titled “A villager how to craft umbrella” is what she says: During
the period of Warring States, in the state of Zheng, a man from the country
decided to learn how to make clothes rain. He spent three years learning the
craft and after much effort eventually become an expert. Unfortunately a great
drought came and rainwear were of no use. He decided to change and learn how to
make buckets of water and spent another three years to master the craft. There
was a big flood and no one was more interested in buying seals. He once again
changed and began to rain gear. But soon, bandits and robbers appeared from all
directions. People put all military uniforms to protect themselves, and
military uniforms were waterproof, so more person asked his rain gear.
Considering this new development, he thought it was probably better for him to
learn how to make weapons, but it was old and had no facility to do what he
pleased. When Yu Lizi heard the story he said, “Humans do not control much
in their lives. In fact they are completely controlled by the gods. A technique
may or may not have a value that is determined by the gods, but the right to
choose which technique should be taught in our hands. Therefore, the person of
the state of Zheng in the history of experimental fate accomplish nothing. He
was himself responsible for his own bankruptcy. Consider an example. A farmer Guangdong was gifted to
plant rice. So he demanded a virgin land for planting rice. But there was a
serious flood, and he reaped nothing for three years. Many friends tried to
persuade him to simply drain the water and plant corn. But he was not convinced
and persisted in planting rice without success. The following year saw yet get
a great drought and even years. Its rice harvest loved and had a wonderful
harvest for three years dry weather. Evaluating crops of these three years, he
discovered that he had not only compensated for past losses, but there was a
surplus. So build ships during drought and sewing cotton quilted jackets in
warm weather sense. “If we resist summer days, winter arrives. Life
continues to fluctuate. There are losses and gains. There is a saying,
“Waiting clouds dissipate and the blue sky appear. “In fact, the
victory comes perseverance and persistence!
