Only those who know how to stop truly understand how to go fast. At first, watching others ski seemed easy—wasn't it just sliding from the top of the mountain to the bottom? So I put on my skis and rushed down. The result was that while I did reach the bottom, I had essentially rolled down the slope, tumbling many times. Eventually, I practiced repeatedly how to stop on snow and slopes. Only after mastering the ability to stop, glide, and stop again on any incline did I realize I had truly learned to ski. I then dared to rush down from the top at high speed because I knew that as long as I wanted to, I could turn and come to a steady halt. Therefore, only those who know how to stop know how to move forward at high speed.
Letting go is a form of wisdom, and imperfection can be a blessing. If you have six apples, do not eat them all. If you eat all six, you have only tasted six apples. However, If you share five of them with others, you may seem to have lost five apples, but in reality, you have gained the friendship and goodwill of five people. When others have other fruits, they will likely share with you. You might receive an orange from one person and a pear from another. Ultimately, you could end up with six different types of fruits and the friendship of six people. Thus, letting go is indeed a wisdom.
