Hitting the target

Lieh Tzu was studying archery and he hit the target.  He sought advice from Kuan-Yin who asked him,

"Do you know why you hit the target?"

"No."

"It won't do yet."

Lieh Tzu went away to practice and after three years, he reported to Kuan-Yin.

"Do you know why you hit the target?" [asked Kuan-Yin].

"I know."

"It will do.  Hold onto this awareness and do not lose it."

This applies not only to archery, but also to ruling oneself.  Therefore, the sage scrutinizes not the fact of survival  or ruin, but its [underlying] reasons.

The above value tale is taken from Tao: its history & teachings by Osho
