The son of a high official of the state of Ren angled in the east sea, using fifty oxen as the bait.

He had not caught a single fish for a year.

But he was not discouraged and did not give up. In the end, a big fish swallowed the bait.

If the fish were made into dried fish, it would be enough for all the people east of Zhejiang province and north of Cangwu Mountain to have a good meal. It is difficult for those who only have small fish and shrimp in their minds to catch a big fish.

In the same way, those who use sugared up words to pursue high posts and salaries are actually very far away from the main path. So, anyone he who has not heard of the story of catching the big fish has a long way to go to achieve the goal of governing a state.

任国的公子用五十头牛做了一个钓饵在东海钓鱼.

一年到头也没钓到一条鱼。

但他毫不气馁，仍然坚持下去，结果，终于有一条大鱼上钩了。

如果钓到的大鱼制成鱼干，浙江以东到苍梧山以北的人都能饱餐一顿。而那些眼中只有小鱼小虾的人，要想钓着大鱼就难了。

同样，粉饰言辞去攀求高官厚禄的人，他们离大道的距离可以说是十分遥远。所以，没听说过任国公子钓大鱼这个故事的人，离治理好天下这一目标也还有很大一段距离。
