fishing rod

An old man was fishing by the river, and a child came over to watch him. The old man was very skilled at fishing, so it wasn’t long before he had a whole basket full of fish. Seeing that the child was cute, the old man wanted to give him the entire basket of fish. The child shook his head, and the old man asked in surprise, \"Why don’t you want it?\" 」The child replied, \"I want the fishing rod in your hand.\" 」The old man asked, \"What do you need a fishing rod for?\" 」The child said, \"The fish in this basket will be eaten up in no time. If I had a fishing rod, I could fish by myself and never run out of fish to eat for the rest of my life.\" 」 　　I think you would definitely say: What a smart child. Wrong; if he only wants a fishing rod, he won’t be able to catch any fish at all. Because he doesn’t understand the skills of fishing; having just a fishing rod is useless, as what’s important in fishing isn’t the rod itself, but rather the fishing skills. 　　Too many people think they possess the fishing rod for life’s journey and are no longer afraid of the storms along the way; as a result, they inevitably fall in the mud. Just as children look at the elderly and think that as long as they have a fishing rod, they will have an endless supply of fish, employees look at their bosses and think that as long as they sit in the office, money will keep flowing in.
