Origin Story
从前，有一个名叫小明的年轻人，他每天无所事事，总是胡思乱想一些不切实际的事情。他梦想一夜暴富，梦想成为武林高手，梦想拥有一个美丽的公主。这些想法占据了他的头脑，让他无法专心于任何实际的事情。他的父母非常担心，他们尝试各种方法引导他，但小明依然沉溺于自己的幻想世界中。有一天，小明的父母带他去了一位老禅师那里，希望老禅师能够帮助他。老禅师耐心地听完小明的讲述后，让他在寺院里打扫卫生，并告诉他：‘世间万物皆有其规律，不要胡思乱想，踏踏实实地做事才能有所成就。’小明在寺院里认真地工作，逐渐体会到劳动的快乐和成功的喜悦。他放下那些不切实际的幻想，开始专注于自己的生活，并最终找到了一份适合自己的工作，过上了幸福快乐的生活。
Once upon a time, there was a young man named Xiaoming who spent his days idle, always daydreaming about unrealistic things. He dreamed of getting rich overnight, becoming a martial arts master, and possessing a beautiful princess. These thoughts occupied his mind, preventing him from focusing on anything practical. His parents were very worried and tried various methods to guide him, but Xiaoming remained immersed in his fantasy world. One day, Xiaoming's parents took him to an old Zen master, hoping that the master could help him. After listening patiently to Xiaoming's story, the Zen master had him clean the temple and told him: 'Everything in the world has its laws, don't daydream, work diligently and honestly to achieve something.' Xiaoming worked diligently in the temple and gradually realized the joy of labor and the joy of success. He gave up his unrealistic fantasies, began to focus on his life, and eventually found a suitable job and lived a happy life.
