A learned man once met God and asked indignantly, "I am a man of great knowledge, why have you not given me the opportunity to become famous?"
God replied helplessly, "Although you are knowledgeable, you only scratch the surface of many things without diving deep into any. How can you hope to become famous?"
Hearing this, the man began to practice the piano intensely. Although he later became a master of the instrument, he still failed to gain fame. He went to God again, asking, "God, I have mastered the piano. Why will you still not grant me the chance to be famous?"
God shook His head and said, "It is not that I do not give you opportunities, but that you fail to seize them. The first time I secretly helped you enter a piano competition, you lacked confidence. The second time, you lacked courage. How can you blame me then?"
After hearing God's words, the man practiced for several more years until he built up his confidence and gathered the courage to compete. He performed exceptionally well, but due to the unfairness of the judges, the opportunity for fame was taken by another.
Devastated, the man said to God, "God, I have given my all this time. It seems destiny has decreed that I will never be famous."
God smiled and said to him, "In fact, you are very close to success; you only need one final leap."
"A final leap?" he asked, his eyes wide in surprise.
God nodded and said, "You have already received the ticket to success—setbacks. Now that you have obtained it, success will come to you as a gift from those setbacks."
This time, the man kept God's words close to his heart, and indeed, he achieved great success.
有一位博学的人遇见了上帝，他愤愤不平地问道：“我学识渊博，为什么上天却不赐予我成名的机会呢？”
上帝无奈地回答道：“你虽然博学，但样样都只是略知皮毛，不够深入钻研，又如何能成名呢？”
那人听后开始苦练钢琴。后来虽然琴艺精湛，却依旧没能出名。他再次询问上帝：“上帝啊！我已经精通了钢琴，为什么您还不给我成名的机会呢？”
上帝摇了摇头说：“并不是我不给你机会，而是你总是错失良机。第一次我暗中帮助你参加钢琴比赛，你却缺乏信心；第二次你又缺乏勇气，这又怎能怪我呢？”
那人听完上帝的话，又闭关苦练了数年。直到他建立了自信，并鼓足勇气去参加比赛。虽然他的表现极其出色，却因裁判的不公正，最终错失了成名的机会。
那人心灰意冷地对上帝说：“上帝，这一次我已经竭尽全力了。看来上天注定我终生无法成名。”
上帝微笑着对他说：“其实你离成功仅有一步之遥，只需最后的一跃。”
“最后一跃？”他惊讶地睁大了双眼。
上帝点点头说：“你已经拿到了成功的入场券——那就是挫折。当你获得了它，成功便会作为挫折赠予你的礼物到来。”
这一次，那人牢记了上帝的话，他最终获得了成功。
