To see the big picture

I have read a quote from Space shuttle astronaut Sultan Bin Salman in the most loved magazine, Reader's digest.

我在最受欢迎的杂志《读者文摘》上读到了航天飞机宇航员苏丹本萨勒曼的一句话。

The first day or so, we all pointed to our countries. The third day or fourth day, we were pointing to our continents. By the fifth day, we were only aware of one Earth.

第一天左右，我们都指着我们的国家。第三天或第四天，我们指着我们的大陆。到了第五天，我们只知道有一个地球。

In contrast, As we all know, in a fable wrote by Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi, a frog lives in a shallow well.

相反，我们都知道，在中国哲学家庄子的一则寓言中，一只青蛙住在浅井里。

"Look, how happy I am to live here! When I feel glad, I would bounce for a while near the well; and when I am tired, I would return to the well to sleep and rest for a while by the brick hole. Sometimes, I would quietly soak my whole body in the water, showing only my head and mouth. Sometimes, I would stroll in the soft mud, which is very comfortable. None of those tiny crabs and tadpoles can compare with me. I am the master of this well, free and unrestrained. Why don't you come often to play in the well?"

“看，住在这里多幸福啊！高兴的时候，就在井边跳一会儿；累了，就回到井边睡觉，在砖洞边休息一会儿。有时候，我会静静地把全身泡在水里，只露出头和嘴。有时候，我会在松软的泥地里漫步，这是很舒服的。那些小螃蟹小蝌蚪都比不上我。我是这口井的主人，自由奔放。你为什么不常来井里玩呢？”

So, your thoughts depend on the range of your vision.

所以，你的思想取决于你的视野范围。

To travel ten thousand miles and read ten thousand books, you can see the big picture.

要行万里路，读万卷书，才能有大格局。
