During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was an archer in the State of Chu named Yang Shu. He was a master archer who could hit leaves on a poplar tree branch from a hundred paces away, with perfect accuracy. King Chu was envious of Yang Shu's skill and invited him to teach archery. Yang Shu taught him everything he knew, without reservation. After practicing eagerly for a while, King Chu improved steadily and eventually became quite proficient. He then invited Yang Shu to go hunting in the wild with him.
As the hunt began, King Chu ordered his men to drive wild ducks out of the reed marshes. The ducks, startled, took flight. King Chu drew his bow and was just about to shoot when, suddenly, a goat jumped out from the left. King Chu thought to himself, “Shooting a goat is much more worthwhile than shooting a duck!” So he aimed at the goat. However, just at that moment, a sika deer leaped out from the right. King Chu then reasoned, “A sika deer is rare and far more valuable than a goat,” and shifted his aim to the deer. Suddenly, the crowd gasped in surprise: a precious eagle had taken off from the treetops, soaring into the sky. King Chu then decided it would be better to shoot the eagle.
Just as he was about to aim at the eagle, the eagle swiftly flew away. King Chu turned back to aim at the deer, but the deer had already fled. He then looked for the goat, but the goat had also vanished. Even the flock of ducks had disappeared without a trace.
King Chu fiddled with his bow and arrows for a long time, but in the end, he missed everything.
Do you often want to do this and that, only to accomplish nothing? “Focus” is a difficult lesson, yet it is a mandatory subject in the curriculum of life. Opportunities are fleeting; only by holding firm to your beliefs can you seize the opportunities you have long pursued and achieve your goals.
春秋时期，楚国有一位名叫养叔的射箭高手。他能在百步之外射中杨树枝上的叶子，且百发百中。楚王对养叔高超的箭术十分羡慕，便邀请他传授射箭技巧。养叔倾囊相授，毫无保留。楚王兴致勃勃地练习了一段时间后，渐入佳境，便邀请养叔一同前往野外狩猎。
狩猎开始后，楚王命人将芦苇丛中栖息的野鸭惊飞。野鸭受惊振翅逃离，楚王正欲弯弓搭箭，忽然左侧跳出一只山羊。楚王心想：射中一只山羊比射中野鸭更划算，于是将箭尖转向山羊。然而就在此时，右侧又窜出一只梅花鹿。楚王又盘算：若能射中稀有的梅花鹿，其价值远胜山羊，于是再次调整方向瞄准梅花鹿。忽然众人惊呼，只见一只珍贵的苍鹰从树梢飞起，振翅高飞。楚王又觉得，还是射苍鹰更为值得。
正当他准备瞄准苍鹰时，苍鹰已迅速远去。楚王只好回头寻找梅花鹿，却发现梅花鹿早已逃走；再去找山羊，山羊也已溜走；就连那一群野鸭，也早已飞得无影无踪。
楚王手持弓箭比划许久，最终什么也没有射中。
