Waiting for him, why did the Song people laugh at the farmer?

In Waiting for the Rabbit, the farmer was laughed at by the Song people because the idea of hoping for luck and getting something for nothing was stupid and ridiculous.

There was a farmer in Song State, and there was a stump in his field. One day, a rabbit running fast ran into a stump, broke its neck and died. So the farmer put down his farm tools and stood by the stump day and night, hoping to get another rabbit.

However, the hare could not get it again, and he himself was laughed at by the Song people. Now I want to use the past policy of governing the country to govern today's people, and I am as wrong as waiting for him!

The idiom "waiting for a rabbit" means to get something for nothing, or to stick to narrow experience and not be flexible.

Revelation:

1. In life, don't try to get something for nothing. You have to understand that any gain needs to be achieved by your own labor and efforts. It is no use waiting there.

2. Farmers feel that they have paid so much before, so they must continue to stick to it, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain. This is the cost of silence, and this farmer was kidnapped by the "silent cost" he paid before.

He clearly knew that he was wrong, but he was reluctant to give up because he had paid too much before. Sometimes when we find that we have made a mistake, we should give up. We can't be kidnapped by these "silent costs".

3, to understand that small probability events are almost difficult to happen, this is a miracle, miracles may happen, but it is impossible for every miracle to happen every day, we can not pin our hopes on this miracle, we can not regard small probability events as the normal state.
