Sharpen your will and character in ordinary life and polish yourself into sparkling gold
We cannot say that the moon is not round just because it is waning;
We cannot say that the sun is not eternal just because of a solar eclipse.
There are good and bad days on any day, and no day or environment is 100% good.
The reason why we often complain about the unfairness of life is because we always have a pessimistic and complaining view of our situation, rather than an optimistic and happy view.
One day, General Motors was about to lay off employees, and Lina and Amida from the back office office were on the list. It was stipulated that they must leave their jobs after one month. At that time, both of their eyes were red.
When she went to work the next day, Lina was still very excited and didn’t have a good temper with anyone. She seemed to have taken a bullet. She didn’t dare to go to the boss to vent her grievances, so she complained to the director and cried to her colleagues: “Why should I be laid off?” “Fuck? I did a good job.” “This is so unfair to me.” The way she burst into tears made people feel sympathetic, but everyone didn’t know how to comfort her.
But she only focused on complaining and redressing her grievances everywhere, so that her duties such as ordering lunches, delivering documents, sending and receiving letters, etc. were all delayed.
She used to be a very likable person, but now she is angry all day long. Many people were afraid of contact with her at first and avoided her. Later, they started to hate her.
After the layoff list was announced, Amida cried all night, but as soon as she went to work the next day, she worked as usual. Since everyone was embarrassed to tell her what to do, she took the initiative to take jobs from everyone. Facing everyone’s sympathetic and regretful looks, she always smiled and said: “You can’t escape blessings, and you can’t avoid disasters. Anyway, it’s like this. It’s better to work hard in the last month. I’m afraid I won’t have a chance to do anything in the future.” She Still typing and copying very diligently every day, always on call, and sticking to her post.
One month later, Lina was laid off as scheduled, but Amida was removed from the layoff list and remained.
The director conveyed the boss’s words in public: “No one can replace Amida’s position. The company will never have too many employees like Amida.
When people face difficulties, don’t complain about their fate, because complaining will not only make you miserable, but also make things worse and worse in the angry mood of blaming others, and miss the opportunity to solve the problem again. In addition to having a bad attitude toward others, it will also make you accomplish nothing.
In fact, God is really fair. Those who complain about it are just because they fail to discover the rewards that fate has placed around them. They often look for the far away and look elsewhere. If they can’t find it, they start complaining. In fact, the opportunity is often with you. At your feet, or to be more precise, in your heart.
Sometimes, while fate closes a door to you, it opens a window for you.
Everything in the world has many sides, and what we see is only one side. This side is painful, but pain can often be transformed. Any misfortune, failure and loss may become factors in our favor.
In the face of misfortune and difficulties, what we have to do is not to blame others and give up on ourselves, but to constantly capture the wisdom of survival, endure hardships, face blows, and grow ourselves amidst setbacks.
A person who thinks he is very talented has never been reused. For this reason, he is full of sorrow and extremely depressed.
One day, he asked God: Why is fate so unfair to me? God was silent after hearing this. He just picked up an inconspicuous pebble and threw it into the pile of rocks. God said: “Go and find the pebble I just threw away.”
As a result, the man rummaged through the rubble but came back in vain.
At this time, God took off the ring from his hand again and threw it into the pile of rocks in the same way. As a result, this time, he quickly found the ring — the shining golden ring. ring.
Although God said nothing more, he suddenly woke up;
When you are just a pebble instead of a piece of shining gold, you should never complain that fate is unfair to you.
If we persist in sharpening our will and character in ordinary life, and eventually polish ourselves into a piece of sparkling gold, then no one can cover up your dazzling brilliance.
Being able to endure unfair treatment and treat it with a normal attitude is a state of life and the direction we strive to pursue. Face life calmly and meet all difficulties with a smile.
Many years ago, Aggie Taylor Moulton, then the Secretary of the Treasury, went to a college in South Carolina to deliver a speech to all the students. She walked up to the microphone, first looked at the audience, and scanned the room from left to right. , and then said: “My biological mother is deaf, so she can’t speak. I don’t know who my father is, and I don’t know if he is still alive. The first job I found in my life was in the cotton field. Do things.”
The audience in the audience were all stunned, and she continued: “A person’s future is not due to luck, environment, or the condition he was born in. If the situation is not satisfactory, we can always find ways to change it. .
If a person wants to change an unfortunate or unsatisfactory situation, he only needs to answer this simple question: What do I want the situation to be like? Then just devote yourself to it, take action, and move towards your ideal goal. “Then her face broke into a beautiful smile.
If Aggie Taylor Moulton had lamented the “unfairness” of his fate and complained about “being born at the wrong time”, he would certainly not have been able to get rid of the situation of “working in the cotton fields”, let alone become the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. .
If you face injustice in the vast world and on the long journey of life, be an ordinary person who adapts to the world and abides by yourself, strives to make progress, and does what you should do, then you will soon stand out, and Find happiness.
Throughout the ages, many successful people are optimistic, open-minded, and calm-hearted.

The reason why they are always full of happiness and joy may be because they never complain about their fate, but find ways to keep their rich hearts full of creative vitality.
William James said, What we call disasters is largely due to people’s attitudes towards phenomena. As long as the inner attitude of the victims changes from complaining to struggling, bad things will often turn into encouraging good things.
If we agree to face a disaster and endure it with optimism when we have tried and failed to avoid it, its sting will often fall off and turn into a beautiful flower. “
People always have pursuits and goals, so as long as they work hard in a certain positive direction, they will be able to function naturally and normally. Happiness is a sign that things will function naturally and normally.
As long as a person plays the role of a goal seeker, he will feel very happy regardless of the circumstances.
If life has given you a blessing, be grateful.
Even if life sets up some hardships for you, there is no need to lament. The purpose of giving you difficulties is to temper your perseverance and then put you to good use.
In fact, no matter how many blows a person has suffered or how much suffering he has experienced, once he corrects his mentality, he can heal his wounds, gain hope, and give birth to new life, even in desolate and harsh environments. It can still radiate its own light and heat into the environment.
