Chinese Sayings (Book 2)
Shǒu Zhū Dài Tù | 守株待兔
from Season 4, Episode 3: Waiting in Vain
Another classic from the long list of great Chinese. 守株待兔 Shǒu Zhū Dài Tù. Thank Han Feizi for this one. He teaches us not to sit around and wait for good luck to find you. Just because you got lucky once doesn't mean lightning will strike twice. In this quick story about the farmer in Song State we learn sometimes it's better to go out and seek what you want rather than waiting it to fall in your lap.
