With all your heart and with all your mind
"Nothing is impossible if one has the will to do," as the proverb says. This means if one concentrates his mind on one thing, there is nothing he can not do. When a new year comes, people make various plans, but most of them do not fulfill all their plans by the end of the year. He who tries to do too many things at once cannot accomplish anything. What about the man who continually struggles for one goal? He eventually accomplishes his goal, sooner or later. Nothing is impossible for him who does everything with all his heartLugworms dig their holes very well, even though they have soft bodies and no part of their bodies is hard enough to be used as a tool. However, crabs, even though they have better physical conditions than the lugworms, do not try to make their homes but live in the holes digged by others.This comes from their different life habits: The lugworms tend to concentrate on one thing, while the crabs tend to do many things at once, not steadily concentrating on one thing. The crabs have a hard shell and strong claws serving as good tools; they protect themselves against enemies while eating food; they are busy doing many other things while crawling. Consequently they do not make their own homes. There is an ancient phrase '中石沒鏃'in Chinese, which originated with General Li Guang at the time of the Han dynasty, China. This phrase also means that if one concentrates his mind on one target, there is nothing impossible to accomplish. Li Guang was a great soldier, a master of archery and riding. One dusky evening, he passed through a pine forest. Then he saw a tiger staring at him, sitting in the bush a little distance away. Feeling a sense of crisis, he immediately drew an arrow and shot it. The arrow was accurately stuck in the tiger's forehead. However, in spite of being hit by the arrow, the tiger did not move at all.He carefully approached it, and he found that it was not the tiger but a huge rock in the shape of a tiger. He was greatly surprised to see his arrow stuck in the rock. Moving backward some distance, he shot his arrow again. He repeatedly shot his arrows, but each time the arrow bounced off the rock. If an expert archer shoots an arrow, the arrow can hit the center of the target. From common sense, however, it is almost impossible for the arrow to pierce a rock. In an extremely dangerous situation, he [Li Guang] concentrated 100% on hitting the target, so his arrow could even pierce the rock.
