A master performer was about to go on stage when his student noticed that his shoelaces were loose and pointed it out. The master nodded in gratitude and knelt down to carefully tie them. After the student turned away, the master knelt again and gently loosened the shoelaces. A bystander was puzzled and asked, “Master, why did you loosen them again?” The master replied, “Because I am portraying a weary traveler who has journeyed a long distance. Details like loose shoelaces help better convey his fatigue and exhaustion.” The bystander then asked, “Why didn’t you simply explain it to your student?” The master said, “He was attentive enough to notice my shoelaces were loose and kindly reminded me. That enthusiasm is worth encouraging. I need to protect his initiative and help him maintain this sense of observation. As for performance details, there will be more opportunities to teach them later.” A person can only focus on one thing at a time; knowing how to prioritize is what truly defines real talent.
有一位表演大师在上场前，他的弟子发现他的鞋带松了，便提醒他。大师点头致谢，随即蹲下仔细系好鞋带。弟子转身后，大师又再次蹲下，将鞋带轻轻解松。一旁的观众不解，问道：“大师，您为什么又要把鞋带解开呢？”大师回答说：“因为我此刻饰演的是一位长途跋涉、疲惫不堪的旅者，鞋带松开这样的细节，能更好地表现他的劳累与憔悴。”观众又问：“那您为什么不直接告诉弟子呢？”大师说：“他能细心地发现我鞋带松了，并且热心提醒我，这是值得鼓励的热情。我需要保护他的积极性，让他继续保持这种观察力。至于表演的细节处理，可以在未来的教学中再慢慢讲解。”人只能在一个时间专注做一件事，懂得抓住重点，才是真正的人才。
