Itwas a thin strip of animal skin on which was written the secret of the“Touchstone (试金石)”! The touchstone was asmall pebble (鹅卵石) that could turn any common metal into pure gold.The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it.

He knew that if he picked up common pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Coldthrow it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days continued overa long period of time.One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the seabefore he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the seathat when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.So it is with opportunity (机会).
