顏回愛學習,德性又好,是孔子的得意門生。
一天,顏回去街上辦事,見一家布店前圍滿了人。 他上前一問,才知道是買布的跟賣布的發生了糾紛。 只聽買布的大嚷大叫:「 三八 就是 二十三 ,你為啥要我 二十四 個錢?」
顏回走到買布的跟前,施一禮說:「這位大哥, 三八 是 二十四 ,怎麼會是 二十三 呢?是你算錯了, 不要吵啦。」
買布的仍不服氣,指著顏回的鼻子說:誰請你出來評理的?你算老幾?要評理只有找 孔夫子,錯與不錯只有他說了算!走,咱找他評理去!
顏回說:「好。孔夫子若評你錯了怎麼辦?」
買布的說:「 評我錯了輸上我的頭 。你錯了呢?」
顏回說:「 評我錯了輸上我的冠。」
二人打著賭,找到了孔子。 孔子問明了情況,對顏回笑笑說:「 三八 就是 二十三 哪!顏回, 你輸啦 ,把冠取下來給人家吧! 」
顏回從來不跟老師鬥嘴。他聽孔子評他錯了,就老老實實摘下帽子,交給了買布的。那人接過帽子,得意地走了。
對孔子的評判,顏回表面上絕對服從,心裡卻想不通。他認為孔子已老糊塗,便不想再跟孔子學習了。
第二天,顏回就藉故說家中有事,要請假回去。 孔子明白顏回的心事,也不挑破,點頭准了他的假。
顏回臨行前,去跟孔子告別。
孔子要他辦完事即返回,並囑咐他 兩句話: 「千年古樹莫存身,殺人不明勿動手。
顏回應聲「 記住了」,便動身往家走。
路上,突然風起雲湧,雷鳴電閃,眼看要下大雨。 顏回鑽進路邊一棵大樹的空樹幹裡,想避避雨。 他猛然記起孔子「千年古樹莫存身」 的話,心想,師徒一場,再聽他一次話吧,從空樹幹離開。 他剛離開不遠,一個炸雷,把那棵古樹劈個粉碎。
顏回大吃一驚:老師的第一句話應驗啦!難道我還會殺人嗎? 顏回趕到家,已是深夜。 他不想驚動家人,就用隨身佩帶的寶劍,撥開了妻子住室的門栓。 顏回到床前一摸,啊呀呀,南頭睡個人,北頭睡個人!他怒從心頭起,舉劍正要砍,又想起孔子的第二句話 「殺人不明勿動手」。 他點燈一看,床上一頭睡的是妻子,一頭睡的是妹妹 ?
天明,顏回又返了回去,見了孔子便跪下說:「老師,您那兩句話,救了我、我妻和我妹妹三個人哪!您事前怎麼會知道要發生的事呢?」
孔子把顏回扶起來說:「昨天天氣燥熱,估計會有雷雨,因而就提醒你 『千年古樹莫存身』。你又是帶著氣走的,身上還佩帶著寶劍,因而我告誡你『殺人不明勿動手』。
顏回打躬說:「老師料事如神,學生十分敬佩!」
孔子又開導顏回說: 「我知道你請假回家是假的,實則以為我老糊塗了,不願再跟我學習。 你想想 :我說 三八二十三是對的,你輸了,不過輸個冠﹔ 我若說三八二十四是對的,他輸了,那可是一條人命啊! 你說冠重要還是人命重要?」
顏回恍然大悟,「噗通」跪在孔子面前,說: 「 老師重大義而輕小是小非,學生還以為老師因年高而欠清醒呢。 學生慚愧萬分!」
從這以後,孔子無論去到哪裡,顏回再沒離開過他。
這故事讓我想起優克李林有首歌的歌詞 : 如果失去了妳,贏了世界又如何 ?
相同的,有時你爭贏了你所謂的道 ,卻可能失去更重要的 ;
事總有輕重緩急之分,不要為了爭一口氣,而後悔莫及!

Loose weight = Healthy Weight?
Am thinking to write in Chinese but it is going to take me a long long time to finish.
So, I might as well type in English and come back to type in Chinese later...
If I still remember. :P
Well a month has gone and I have managed to loose 2 kg. Not a big deal, but for me it is good progress. Often, people think of loose weight is good but too drastic in a short time frame may not be good. Got this idea after reading Dr. David Heber book. Found it interesting especially the facts about nutrition and what it could do to our body.
Yes, oh yes, I have started to use the product. Herba Life.
A lot of people is consuming it and yet not all is happy with the result. Especially when the mind set is Loose Weight = Healthy Body. But do we ever know that if we do not have a healthy body cells, not matter how hard we loose weight, we might end up like a ballon when we are not watching our diet. Scary isn't it!
If you got a chance, pls take a look. http://www.lashapediet.com/
Off course, there is always nutrition talks on Herba Life website. www.myherbalife.com
May be when got chance, I tried to grab more info to share.
