Features: Do you know the story of the crow and the water? When I ask you this, please don’t smile disdainfully. I know that as humans, we often have certain biases against crows, a slight sense of aversion. Indeed, among all the birds, it seems to stand out the least, and we can all agree on that. So, do you know yourself? Have you ever thought about it? Are you just as ordinary in a crowd as it is? Have you often seen others looking down on you with cold eyes? Have you ever keenly felt that people often sneer at you, showing disdain? Do those expressions and behaviors carry the same kind of feelings you have toward crows? Maybe you don’t know, or maybe you simply don’t believe it. Don’t deny it hastily. In fact, many times, we have been just like that crow, unnoticed. Please excuse my bluntness—I’m not trying to mock you or amuse myself by writing this. I just want to tell you that there is a crow that, through effort, became a crow unlike any other. It went through countless hardships, searched for the legendary holy bottle, drank the water inside it with its own method, and became a divine bird that everyone admired. You might think, "You’re a person, not a bird—there’s no common ground between you." You won’t believe the legend of holy water, so you won’t be interested in this story. If you really think so, it means you are a calm and realistic person. But do you know that many people, because they are too rational, make their already dull lives even more dull. Moreover, do you really want to spend your life as an ordinary, insignificant person? Do you really not want to create some miracles in your life and join the ranks of successful people? Don’t deny it—everyone desires success, and no one is an exception. We are all like that ordinary black crow, hoping to stand out and prove the value of our lives through our own success. What I want to tell you is that this crow succeeded in the story. Do you really not want to know how it stood out, step by step, from an ordinary, even despised bird into a divine one? Tap into your curiosity. This story won’t take up much of your time. Maybe, after reading it, you’ll see a reflection of your own life in it. Although the crow’s success doesn’t guarantee your success, at least this story can offer you some inspiration, giving you a new understanding and perspective on your life. If you don’t believe it, just try it—you’ll only benefit from it. If you still can’t understand it, just consider it a light-hearted fairy tale, learning about the struggles of "another kind of person." What is success? How do you achieve it? I know you must have these questions in your mind. It’s okay—just read this book with your curiosity and confusion. In fact, everyone has different answers to these questions, and many experts and friends have never stopped paying attention to them. When more cases are studied and discovered together, they form what seems to be a correct, so-called "law." Some people call this kind of experience-based advice "successology." Listen to this profound word, and then think back to how many similar theories, sounding dull and impractical, we’ve been forced to learn from childhood to adulthood? Let’s take a break for now. Let’s approach these questions from a lighter angle. When you understand what success means for a crow and how it gradually achieves its goals, you have no reason not to be moved and inspired. Because this story is actually about you. Now, close your eyes and imagine yourself as that legendary crow. Take a deep breath. Three seconds have passed—let’s open this fairy tale that belongs to you and search for your own success.
