Example sentences
-
故 天 将 將 降 大 任 于是 於是 人 也 ， 必 先 苦 其 心志 ， 劳 勞 其 筋骨 ， 饿 餓 其 体肤 體膚 ， 空 乏 其 身 ， 行 拂 乱 亂 其所 为 為 ， 所以 动心 動心 忍 性 ， 曾 益 其所 不能 。
When Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility on a person, it must first distress their mind, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their body, and deprive them of resources, making their actions go against their will. This is done to stimulate their heart and temper their character, thereby increasing what they are capable of.
