There is a well-known and classical question for pepper seller who was constantly asked :"Is it hot?" It is not easy to answer. If you say yes, the buyer may don't like too much spice and go away; if you say no, the buyer maybe a spice lover. That is the dilemma. Of course, there is also a well-known and classical solution. The book says to divided peppers into two piles to meet the buyer's need.

One day, I stood by the woman who was selling hot pepper and wandered how did she do. While there was no client, I tought her:"To divide the peppers into two piles. Give the buyer who want hot pepper this pile, and the buyer who don't want hot pepper that one."

It was suprised to me that the woman just smile to me and say quietly:"No necessary!"

Here came a buyer, who asked the right question:"Is it hot?" The woman who was selling pepper told him for sure:"The dark peppers are hot, The light aren't!" The buyer believed, took the pepper and left with satisfaction. Somehow or other, most buyers today bought less hotter pepper. Within a short time, the light peppers have been sold rapidly. So I said:"To divided the rest into two piles, or it hardly to sell!"

However, the woman still smiled, shook her heads and said:"No necessary!"

Here came another buyer, and asked the same question:"Is it hot?" The woman looked though her own peppers and spoke at radom:"The longer were hot, the shorter weren't." The buyer took it for sure and picked peppers according to her words. Well, the long peppers were sold out in a short time.

Having Looked at the rest dark short peppers, I thought to myself:"What would you do next?"

It was surprised to me that the woman answered with confidently:"The crusty is hot, the soft crust isn't!" when other buyer asked the same question. I admired her in my mind. As she said, many peppers had became soft because the pepper were sunburned and dehydrated.

The woman sold out her peppers and told me when she ready to leave:"Every the pepper seller don't know the way you said, but I know my own way!"

I understand suddenly: Wisdom in life can be written in a book, but you can't simply live with the wisdom written in the book. As the life is active.
