S9E7 | You Can Get it if You Really Want (But You Must Try)

 

Saying: "to grind an iron bar down to a fine needle "
Pinyin: Mó Chǔ Chéng Zhén
Chinese: 磨杵成针

 

Here's another well-worn favorite from the long list of great chengyu's: 磨杵成针 Mó Chǔ Chéng Zhén. The story behind this Chinese Saying stars none other than (one of China's greatest poets) Li Bai. As a youngster, Li Bai chanced upon an old woman, surnamed Wu, who was intent on accomplishing a seemingly impossible (in Li Bai's eyes) task. Don't let any naysayers deter you. Don't fear the impossible. Listen to this quick story and maybe acquire a little bit of inspiration in what you're trying to accomplish.

Thanks everyone for listening.
