Unfortunately one more step forward

Unfortunately one more step forward

Chuang Tzu once told us such a fable in the Book of South China.

In ancient times, a man named Ziyu unfortunately suffered from a very serious disease: five big holes were broken in his back. Shoulders thin and abrupt, like two high humps; His head fell below his navel, the back of his head was swollen, and he was out of breath when he walked. People laughed at Ziyu's ugliness, but Ziyu himself did not agree. He always joked to himself, "If my left arm were a chicken, I could tell the dawn with it." If my right arm were a bow, I could shoot birds with it; If my ass were a cart, and my spirit a horse, I would ride around in it, wouldn't that be a happy thing?" Whenever people heard these words of Ziyu, one by one they smiled and no longer paid any attention to him. Time flows like a flow, suddenly one year, the war broke out, all the men in the village except the children, were captured and put into the army, only Ziyu one survived. Later, those who were captured died on the battlefield, and Ziyu became one of the few men in a radius of ten miles.

Having a strange disease can be described as the misfortune of life, however, it is this misfortune that makes Ziyu lucky to survive, this misfortune is how worthy of our deep thinking!

Sometimes, there is only one step between luck and misfortune.

Those flowers that open on the side of the road and fruits that bear on the right path, although they can get people's admiration and praise, but they are also difficult to escape the danger of dying because they will be picked at any time; Those who are born in the deep mountains, although no one always cares about them, but they can safely and happily breed offspring and go through life. This is the luck that misfortune brings to Youlan!

There was a young man who, since he was a child, had made a vow to be an excellent singer. So, his family invited him to the most famous music teacher at that time, starting from the voice, little by little to teach him, he is also very proud, all day and night repeatedly, his achievements because of his efforts and progress, his dream is to be able to participate in the national young singer Grand Prix. A few years later, he finally got the chance - he won a spot in the grand final after winning a provincial nuclear contest with more than 200 participants. Seeing the big game was approaching day by day, but one day, two months before the big game was about to start, he had a serious illness that made his throat dumb, and the doctor diagnosed that he would never be able to return to the original shape. This is undoubtedly a blow for a singer who is about to enter the competition. Although the disease recovered, but he is still miserable, later, or his teacher came to visit him, and persuaded him to cherish this opportunity to participate in the competition, so that everyone did not expect that he actually won the first place in the young singer contest! Because, it is his unique voice that conquered all the audience and judges present. When he told the story in front of the camera, everyone was amazed by his blessing in disguise!

Taoist cloud: "Misfortune exists where happiness exists", sometimes, luck and misfortune are like sunny and Yin in nature, cold and warm, sad and happy, flowers and flowers fall, gains and losses... They are all part of a complete life, they cross each other, each other reincarnation, objectively speaking, they are equal, but sometimes people's mentality is different, thus affecting our perfect sense of life.

Yes, sometimes, misfortune is just the precursor of luck, is a ladder to luck. When we encounter misfortune, we should not be pessimistic and depressed, complaining about the world, and we should not be depressed because of it, because encountering misfortune does not necessarily mean that life is a failure, on the contrary, we can sometimes even regard it as a favor of God. As long as we are optimistic and take another step forward at the unfortunate intersection, perhaps the success will come!

(A truly intelligent entrepreneur, the most worrying thing is not whether the "God of opportunity" will favor themselves, but whether there is a seed of a dream buried in the heart!)
