The sage was known for his wisdom and insight, but he was also impermeable to criticism and resistant to change. His loquacious nature often led him to pontificate (自负地说话) for hours on end, denigrating those who dared to question his authority. But one day, a young apprentice challenged him to consider a new perspective, and the sage realized that he had been too set in his ways. From that day forward, he made a conscious effort to listen more and speak less, to open his mind to new ideas, and to recognize that impermeability to change can be a barrier to growth and enlightenment.

这位智者以智慧和洞察力而闻名,但他不接受批评,并抵制变革。他天性健谈,经常一连几个小时发表意见,诋毁那些敢于质疑他权威的人。但是有一天,一个年轻的徒弟要求他考虑新的视角,智者意识到自己太固执己见了。从那天起,他有意识地多听少说,敞开心扉接受新思想,他认识到抗拒变化可能会成为成长和启蒙的障碍。
