Chapter 23 get nothing done

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a man who became an official of the provincial government. Because his official career was not very prosperous, no matter what he did, he often went out to play and relax.One day, when he arrived at Jingguo Temple, he got tired of traveling and stayed in the temple.At night, he had a dream; in his dream, he walked under a rock and met an old monk; in front of the old monk, there was a very small incense burner, and the sandalwood incense smoke curled up from the burner.The old monk said to the provincial official: "The cigarettes in this small incense burner are still left when you made a wish. Now you have been a person for three generations. In your first life, you were the inspector of Jiannan in the Tang Xuanzong era; in the second life, you are The secretary of Xishu during the time of Emperor Xianzong, the third generation is the current provincial official." Hearing what the old monk said, he suddenly realized a little bit, as if he remembered that the third generation's officials were mediocre and accomplished nothing.

As a result, he no longer wanted to be up and down in the officialdom, and seemed to have a sudden understanding of life. In Wang Zhong's poems, there is also the exclamation of "the fight is not yet determined, and nothing can be achieved with two hairs on the temples". Nowadays, if the elderly people have no achievements in their careers, they usually lament that they have achieved nothing.Sometimes when you ask a young person how he is doing in his career, he will say "nothing has been done"!
