There is dialogue like this.

The old monk asked the young monk: If you take a step forward is death, a step back is death, what do you do?

The young monk did not hesitate to say: I go to the side.

Yes, the road is not only forward and backward, when the dilemma, but you also have to change your perspective and a different way to live.

There is a story like this.

A still very verdant and very beautiful leaf, in a gale of wind, was mercilessly cut off, poor floating to the ground.

Is it too early to end its life and turn into the mud? The leaves struggled in the pain of falling, thinking, struggling. With the help of the wind, she tried to fly, looking for a chance to continue her life.

Finally, she stopped at the feet of a young girl and was picked up by her. With appreciation and compassion, the young girl made the leaf into a beautiful bookmark. The leaf preserved the vein of life, and from then on it was accompanied by words, and the fragrance of ink and life was reborn.

Yes, there are many ways of life, when encountering a disaster, you have to change your perspective and a different way of living.

There is such a figure.

Kafka, a world-class literary master and the founder of modernist literature, grew up as a loner, silent, cowardly and timid, sentimental, and always liked to hide in a corner by himself. His father was very dissatisfied with him and later lost confidence in him, so he simply left him to his own devices. In his father's eyes, he was a complete coward, a pathetic wretch with no future to speak of. But Kafka learned to read his father's words and learn to bear and endure the pain and helplessness of life amid his father's repeated injuries. What is more shocking is that, by a chance, he embarked on the path of literary creation. He incorporated his sensitivity to life, his timid character, his solitary and melancholy temperament, his unquenchable loneliness and sense of crisis, and his insurmountable absurdity, and fear into his novels, forming a unique and splendid style, which became the spiritual reflection of the capitalist society of that era. His works such as "Metamorphosis", "The Verdict" and "The Castle" have become world-famous and enduring, and he has become the most famous Austrian writer. Kafka's success tells people that some things cannot be changed, such as character, appearance, height, etc. For these innate defects, there is no need to change them, let alone to be chagrined and inferior. Everyone has their own merits, but also their defects, instead of complaining about God's injustice to their own, it is better to find a piece of land suitable for their growth.

Yes, life has its wonder, when disadvantages can no longer be changed, you have to change a perspective, a different way of living.

There are countless examples of reality.

Seemingly the weakest in life, after experiencing a series of failures in life's hardships, failing the entrance exams, being rejected for employment, and hitting walls everywhere, they finally found another way to become the strongest in life, gaining success in life and blossoming into the beauty of life.

Yes, there are many roads in life, when the road in front of you can not go, you need to know how to turn the road, a different angle, a different way of life.

As the years go by, "life is not perfect is the norm, and perfect is not", in the face of setbacks, as long as you change your perspective to think, to observe, you will find that live shows, and not usually feel so cloudy dawn, so no hope; as long as the eyes can cross the barrier, the heart can put down the present, open up the vision, change the concept, change As long as you can see beyond the obstacles, let go of the present moment, open your eyes, change your mind, and change your way of life, even the most miserable life will turn around, and even the most painful life will come to light. Your life will be wonderful because of the change!
