In the office building in downtown new york, there is a man operating a freight elevator. Unlike others, his left hand was cut off at the wrist. One day, someone asked him if he would feel sad without that hand. He said, "No, I wouldn't have thought of it at all. I only think about it when I want to thread the needle. "
In Amsterdam, there is an old church of15th century. On its ruins, there is a saying: if this is the case, there will be nothing else.
In the long years, you will inevitably encounter some unpleasant situations. Since they are like this, they can't be like that.
Therefore, it is the first step to be willing to accept the inevitable situation and accept the fact that it has happened. Only by learning to face failure and pain calmly can we have real happiness and turn the inevitable difficulties, failures, obstacles, diseases and pains in life into the power to create success, miracles and perfection.
Obviously, the environment itself can't make us happy or unhappy, and our reaction to the surrounding environment can determine our feelings. When necessary, we can all endure disasters and tragedies and even overcome them. We may think we can't do it, but our inner strength is amazing. It can help us overcome everything as long as we are willing to use it.
But this doesn't mean that we should try our best to endure and accept any setbacks, and then we will become fatalists. In either case, as long as there is a little chance to save, we will struggle. However, common sense tells us that when things are inevitable-and there can be no turning point-in order to keep our sanity, please stop "looking around and worrying about nothing".
No one can have enough emotion and energy to resist the inevitable facts and use them to create a new life. You can only choose one of the two. You can face the inevitable storm in life, bend your body, or you can resist and be destroyed. People who can keep a calm mind in various environments have noble character cultivation. We should strive to cultivate our psychological anti-interference ability and calmly deal with the ever-changing world. "Let the wind and waves rise and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai". This "Taiwan" is a peaceful state of mind.

In a church in northern Europe, there is a bitter statue of Jesus crucified, which is about the size of ordinary people. Because of the requirement, there are so many people who come here to pray and worship God, which can almost be described as crowding. There is a doorman in the church. He felt sorry to see that Jesus on the cross had to deal with so many people's demands every day. He wants to share the suffering of Jesus. One day, when he prayed, he showed this heart to Jesus. Unexpectedly, he heard a voice say, "Good! I came down to watch the door for you, and you came up to be crucified. But no matter what you see or hear, you can't say a word. " This gentleman thinks this requirement is very simple. So Jesus came down and the doorman went up, spreading his arms as if Jesus had been crucified. The gentleman also kept silent and listened to his friends' voices as agreed.
People come and go in an endless stream, and prayers are reasonable and unreasonable. But in any case, he tried not to talk, because he had to keep his previous promise.
One day, a rich businessman came. After praying, the rich merchant forgot the bag at hand and left. He could see from his eyes that he wanted to call the rich businessman back, but he was speechless; Then came a poor man who prayed that Jesus could help him through the difficulties of life. When I left, I found the bag left by the wealthy businessman before. I opened it and saw that it was full of money. The poor are ecstatic. It's great that Jesus left with everything he wanted. Thank you.
Jesus in disguise on the cross looked him in the eye and wanted to tell him it wasn't yours. However, the agreement came first, and he still couldn't say it. Next, a young man came. He was going to take a long trip to the seaside. He came to pray for Jesus' blessing and his safety. Just as he was about to leave, the rich businessman rushed in, grabbed the young man's skirt and asked him to pay back the money. The young man was not sure, so he quarreled.
At this time, the false Jesus on the cross finally couldn't help it and began to speak. Now that things are clear, the rich businessman went to the poor man who picked up the money, while the young man left in a hurry because he was afraid that he would not get on the boat. The real Jesus appeared, pointed to the man on the cross and said, "Come down! You are not qualified for that position. "
The doorman said, "I tell you the truth, is it wrong to uphold justice?"
Jesus said, "What do you know? The rich businessman is not short of money. His bag of money is only used for whoring, but for that poor man, it is enough to solve the livelihood of his family. The most pitiful thing is that young man. If the rich businessman keeps pestering him and delaying his sailing, he can still save his life. Now, his boat is sinking into the sea. "
This story sounds like a joke, but it reveals: "In real life, we often think that our ideas are the best, but they often backfire. We should believe that whatever we have at present is the best arrangement for us, whether in good times or bad. If so, we can be grateful in prosperity and still be grateful in adversity. "
Nothing in life is perfect.
Maslow once said: "If your heart changes, your attitude will also change;" If your attitude changes, your habits will also change; Habits have changed, so has your personality; If your personality changes, so will your life. Gratitude in prosperity, happiness in adversity, stay real in the present. "
May all life dare to seek the most difficult environment. It is in the most difficult circumstances that life can find itself, know itself, temper itself, show itself, and finally complete and sublimate itself.
