He was one of the most effective prime
ministers in Chinese history. He helped Qin Shihuang establish many systems and
laws. There is a story about him recorded in history books.
When he was young, he served as a
low-ranking official in a county of the Chu Kingdom.
He lived an ordinary life.
One day, his superior assigned him to
manage a large granary in the county.
When he arrived, his first task was to
conduct a handover with the previous manager.
When he opened the door of the large
granary, he saw that the huge granary was filled with sacks of rice.
When he started to count the rice in the
granary, he saw a lot of rats in the granary.
These rats have chubby bodies, and these
rats are not afraid at all when they see people.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered the
office in the small rural town where he used to work.
There was a public toilet next to the
office in a small town, and there were a lot of rats in that toilet.
The rats in that toilet were very thin and
would run away in fear whenever they heard the footsteps of people or dogs.
he said to himself.
They are both rats, but there is such a big
difference between rats that live in granaries and rats that live in toilets.
These rats have given me an inspiration.
This inspiration is that these rats have different living environments, which
leads to differences in their quality of life.
Aren't we humans the same as these rats?
If I continue to do this job comfortably, I
may become like those rats in the toilet in the future.
If I want to change my future, if I want to
achieve something in my life, I should move to another barn-like environment to
seek development.
He continued to think deeply about his
future.
he said to himself.
Although the granary is nice, I have to go
through very tough competition to get into the granary.
My current skills are not enough. If I want
to leave this place and achieve something in the future, there is a
prerequisite. This premise is that I must first learn new knowledge.
He handed in his resignation letter that
afternoon. After leaving his post, he first went to a thinker named (Xun Kuang)
to learn the latest and most recognised knowledge of leadership and government.
He later became Prime Minister of the Qin
Dynasty and helped Qin Shi Huang unify all of China.

他是中國歷史上最有能力的宰相之一，他協助秦始皇建立了很多制度與法律。歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
他年輕的時候曾經在楚王國的一個縣中擔任一個職位很低的官員。
他過著平淡的生活。
有一天，他的長官指派他到這個縣中的一個大糧倉擔任管理的工作。
當他到任之後，他的第一件工作就是與前任的管理員進行交接的工作。
當他打開這個大糧倉的大門的時候，他看見這座巨大的糧倉中，裝滿了一袋一袋的稻米。
當他開始清點糧倉中的稻米數量時，他看到了糧倉中有很多老鼠。
這些老鼠的身材圓胖而且這些老鼠看到人的時候完全不害怕。
他這時候突然聯想到自已上一個職位的那個小鄉鎮的辦公室。
在那一個在小鄉鎮的辦公室的旁邊有一間公共廁所，這間廁所中也有很多老鼠。
那間廁所中的那些老鼠的身材都很瘦而且那些老鼠只要一聽到人或狗的腳步聲就會趕緊驚恐的逃走。
他對自己說。
一樣都是老鼠，生活在糧倉中的老鼠與生活在廁所裡的老鼠竟然有那麼大的差別。
我從這些老鼠的身上得到一個啟發，這個啟發就是這些老鼠因為生活的環境不同，所以造成他們生活品質上的差異。
我們人類不也跟這些老鼠一樣嗎?
我如果繼續安逸的做這個工作，那麼我未來就有可能會像是那些廁所中的老鼠一樣。
我如果要改變我的未來，我的生命如果要有所成就，我就應該換到另外一個像是穀倉一樣的環境去謀求發展。
他又繼續深入思考他的未來。
他對自己說。
穀倉雖然好，但是我進到穀倉的過程中要經歷非常激烈的競爭。
我現在的能力還不夠，我如果要要離開這個地方並且在未來有所成就，那有一個前提，這個前提就是我必須要先學習新的知識。
當天下午他就提出辭職信，他離開這個工作之後，他先去找了一個名字叫做(荀況)的思想家學習當代最新的最被認同的領導統治的知識。
他後來成為秦王朝的宰相，他協助秦始皇統一整個中國。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你對你的未來有怎樣的想像呢?如果有機會，你會勇敢離開現在的舒適圈去追求自已的夢想嗎?
希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
