  If you encounter a rainy day, a lot of rain, the worst thing is that you do not have an umbrella, what will you do, is to run hard? Or stroll through the rain? This reminds me of a very philosophical story: two people are wandering in the street, suddenly the sky is raining heavily, one of the passers-by A pulls out his legs and runs, while passers-by B is not moved, or adhere to the original pace, passers-by A is very curious to ask: why do not you run? He replied: Why should I run, is there no rain in front of me? Since it is all in the rain, why should I waste my energy running? The passerby was speechless.

  

  Who would you be if you were in a different place, the passerby who is running hard? Or the calm-as-ever passerby B? Who is wrong with both of them? They are not wrong, their only difference is only the attitude toward life is different life is not right or wrong, each step is its own choice, and will also bring the corresponding results, and the difference is that we have to be responsible for our results, and the result is our different life.

  

  Passerby A's life is relatively positive, his final result may also be wet, and passerby B is no different, but the difference is that he tried to fight, he may also get better results, that is, the clothes are just a little wet, can continue to wear, and does not affect his normal social activities; and passerby B's attitude towards life is negative and degenerate a lot, he does not run hard as a result of knowing But he chose to accept, you expect what kind of results, you will get, your heart is what you want, so the possibility of the roadman B wet things 100%, he did not have any choice. This is the difference between them, Roadrunner A still has a chance, but Roadrunner B is destined for tragedy, who do you think you are again?

  

  Runner A means: no regrets, no complaints, brave, accepting the challenge, striving for, fearless, full of ideals, full of hope for life, knowing how to create opportunities for themselves, and proactive.

  

  The strolling passerby B means: passive, avoiding challenges, losing before the battle, tolerating and compromising, losing opportunities, looking at life at a glance, going against the grain, not thinking about progress, etc.

  

  Life is different because we have different ideas. After all, we have different definitions of opportunities and challenges, whether we choose to face bravely, or choose to avoid negatively, in terms of the results, we dare not judge absolutely, but these two lives tell us a very clear truth, the first kind of people still have hope, the second kind of people are left with disappointment.

  

  Buddha said: foreknowing the cause of past lives, the recipient of this life is; foreknowing the result of future lives, the doer of this life is.

  

  The life and achievements you get today are the results of your efforts yesterday; the life and achievements you want tomorrow, today's efforts and aggressiveness are their determining factors. This is what Buddhists often say karma, the cycle of heavenly justice.

  

  In real life, the vast majority of people like you and me, are children without umbrellas but happen to encounter heavy rain, we are very ordinary, as our parents, ordinary to the world simply do not feel our existence, that is not our low profile, but we do not have a high-profile capital.

  

  Our dad is not Li Jiacheng, nor Li Gang, nor TM's Tota Li Tianwang, we are just an ordinary life of Zhang San Li Si, usually, God is always special "care" for us P people, we encountered on the road of life rain will be bigger than others, and many bullies over the people told us that This is the Lord in the test us, called: "the sky is descending on the people also, must first suffer its mind, labor its bones, starve its body, empty its body ......", so we are also very happy to meet each challenge, to accept each let us die and live. The test that is engraved in our bones, time and time again, success, failure as shadow, tears, and sweat intertwined experience, not that we have no choice, but we choose a more difficult road, no umbrella for children, we choose to run hard.

  

  We do not have a proud education, not to mention a prominent professional background, even the companies we have worked for is not small workshop, and we do not have those who do not move to open their mouth the Chinese and English popping out of the thunder, we do not have those who carry a laptop all day long everywhere to others to put the PPT blind fart, our daily life is very ordinary, but we are working hard towards the extraordinary.

  

  Someone told me that: life should learn to be content, but not easily satisfied.

  

  A contented life will make us realize what happiness is, what is worth cherishing sincerely; and not being satisfied will tell us that we can do better, we can go further, and maybe we have a greater chance, as in the case of children running in the rain, our contentment is that we can at least run, which is undoubtedly the happiest thing in the world compared to many people in wheelchairs. But we do not want to be satisfied with this, we want to have our piece of clear sky, we try to run forward, run to that piece of free sky.

  

  Running is not only an ability but also an attitude, an attitude that determines the height of your life.
