從前有一個農夫，春天的時候，他在田地裡種了很多禾苗，希望秋天的時候可以收穫。
幾天過去了，禾苗還是那麼矮。他非常著急，心裡想：禾苗長得太慢了，我得想個辦法，讓它們快點長高。他每天吃不好，睡不好，終於想出了一個辦法。於是他決定去試一試。
天一亮，他就來到了田地裡，把禾苗一棵一棵的往上拔高一截，一直忙活到太陽落山，他才筋疲力盡地回到家。一進家門，他就興奮地告訴家人：“今天可把我累壞了，我想了一個好辦法，讓禾苗長高了不少。”
兒子不明白是怎麼回事，跑到了田裡，看了一眼就愣住了：原來綠油油的禾苗，全都死了。
這個故事告訴我們：如果違反事物的發展規律，急於求成，反而容易壞事。太過心急往往會功虧一簣，一步一步腳踏實地才能獲得成功。

Once there was a farmer, in the spring he grew a lot of seedlings in the field, hoping that he could harvest them in the autumn.
A few days passed, but the seedlings were still so short. He was really worried, he thought to himself: the seedlings are growing so slowly, I need to think of a way to make it grow faster. During this time, he didn’t eat well, didn’t sleep well, until he finally came up with a method. So he decided to give it a try.
As soon as the day broke, he went out on the field and pulled up the seedlings a bit, one by one, he was busy all day until the sun went down behind the mountains, then he went home, all worn out. As soon as he passed through the door to his house, he told his family in excitement: “Today I am tired, I thought of a way to make the seedling grow quite much higher.”
The son didn’t understand what was going on, he ran into the field, and looked at it and then just stared blankly: the previously green and lively seedlings had all died.
This story tells us that if we violate the proper way of how things should properly develop, we are eager to be successful, but it’s easy to fail. Too much urgency will lead to failure, we need to take things step-by-step to be able to succeed.

Di zaman dahulu kala ada seorang petani, di musim semi dia menanam banyak bibit di ladang, dan dia berharap dapat memanennya di musim gugur.
Beberapa hari berlalu, akan tetapi bibit-bibit tersebut masih saja pendek. Dia sangat khawatir, dan berpikir: bibit-bibit ini tumbuh terlalu lambat, saya perlu memikirkan cara untuk membuatnya tumbuh lebih cepat. Selama waktu ini, dia tidak dapat makan dengan baik, tidak bisa tidur nyenyak, sampai akhirnya dia menemukan sebuah ide. Jadi dia memutuskan untuk mencobanya.
Begitu hari mulai pagi, dia keluar dari ladang dan menarik bibit sedikit, satu demi satu, dia sibuk sepanjang hari sampai matahari terbenam di balik gunung, lalu dia pulang dengan lelahnya. Ketika dia memasuki rumahnya, dia memberi tahu keluarganya dengan gembira: “Hari ini saya capek sekali, saya mendapatkan sebuah ide yang baik yang dapat membuat bibit tumbuh cukup tinggi.”
Putranya tidak mengerti apa yang sedang terjadi, dia berlari ke ladang, dan melihatnya, lalu menatap dengan tatapan kosong: bibit-bibit yang semula berwarna hijau cerah semuanya mati.
Kisah ini memberi tahu kita bahwa jika kita memaksakan kehendak kita untuk menumbuhkan sesuatu di luar batas normal, terburu-buru ingin mencapai kesuksesan, maka akan mudah untuk gagal. Terlalu banyak terburu-buru akan mengarah pada kegagalan, kita perlu melakukan sesuatu langkah-per-langkah agar dapat berhasil.
