Good horses, good breeders?

Some friends are wondering why i have written more posts recently. I didnt really say a reason. Haha. A very simple reason for this trend is that i wanna hit the number 200 by the end of this year. This post is the 196th,4 more to go. =)

I know writing is not abt quantity, its abt the quality of ur thoughts. One good reason for me to impose a numerical figure on how i write is due to the mental state i m in. At times, it can be chaotic, it can obtain some peacefulness. Hence my intention is to tap this erratic mental state and put them into something worth reading.

I shall share some story tonight, abt a famous horse breeder called bo le (correct pronounciation bo yue 月), 伯乐.

Who exactly is bo yue? He was someone who lived in the ancient times, good at raising horses and training them so that they can run 1000 miles in a day. Some pple say, bo yue has to come first before the existence of such horses. Great Poet Han Yu disagreed and raised a point across that there were often the existence good quality horses,but due to lack of bo yue type of quality in raising them, those horses of good potential failed to exhibit their good qualities.

Those pple did not acknowledge that they have the lack of ability to raise good horses. Instead they grumbled at the lack of good horses. Those breeders continued to feed them the wrong way, often depriving the good horses of the right quantity. When the horses neighed, they failed to understand their wants. Haiz, the "1000-mile quality" horses wasted their lives in the stables of these breeders.
