Sand and Pearl - 2013 Liaoning Gaokao

This quote was added by demoncookie666
A young man was depressed as his career stagnated. He met an old man by the seashore. The old man grabbed a handful of sand and threw them on the seashore, then asked him, "Can you find them?" The young man said no. Then the old man threw a pearl on the seashore and asked him the same question again. The young man said yes. Then he had an epiphany: one should be something different before one gets recognition.
