愚公移山

愚公移山 (yu2 gong1 yi2 shan1) litterally means stupid person moving a mountain.

The story goes by where this person Mr. Yu like on one side of the mountain. Everyday he goes to work on the other side of the mountain. One day, he got fed up of having to walk so far every morning. So he gathered his children and began digging at the mountain wanting to move it away. He continues for a very long time but the mountain doesn't seem to even become smaller. But he never gave up. Another person pass by and ask Mr. Yu why is he digging at the mountain. As Mr. Yu replied, the man laugh out loud. He told Mr. Yu that instead moving the mountain he should shift his house to the other side of the mountain. And he went away laughing. Mr. Yu said even if I don't succeed at moving the mountain, my sons and their sons will continue my work till one day the mountain is moved away. The heavens was so touched by his determination that two deities were sent down to move the mountain away.

Moral of the story: what ever they use to tell you like don't do such stupid stuff and what not. And there is no such thing as deity helping you.

But the true moral behind it is that other people are never supportive. They laugh at you for doing something out of the ordinary, keep wanting you to stick to norm. And this is how dreams die.

Don't be afraid of what other people say as long as you believe that the path you are taking is right for you. Only you know what is truly good for you and never get dissuaded by other people.
