塞翁失马Lucky or Unlucky
Once upon a time, there was an old man living on the border, whom people called " Sai Weng". One day, his horse ran away to the field of the Hu people for no reason. After learning about this, the neighbors all came to comfort him. However, Sai Weng didn't think much of it, but instead said, "This might not be a bad thing."
After a few months, the lost horse came back with a group of horses from the Hu people. When people heard about this, they came to congratulate Sai Weng. However, Sai Weng said , "This might not be a good thing."
Sai Weng 's son really liked riding horses. One day, he broke his leg while riding a horse of the Hu people. The neighbors came to comfort Sai Weng again. But Sai Weng still said the same words: "This might not be a bad thing."
Soon after, the Hu people invaded the border in a large scale, and the young people were conscripted to join the army, and most of them died in the war. However, the son of Sai Weng was able to keep his life because of his broken leg and was not conscripted.
This story tells us that under certain conditions, good things and bad things can be converted to each other. Bad things may turn into good things under certain conditions, and good things may also bring negative results in some cases.
It reminds people to maintain a normal heart, look at things comprehensively and dialectically, not be too pessimistic in the face of difficulties, maybe there will be new opportunities; and not be too proud in the face of good times, and be alert to possible risks.
从前,有一个住在边塞的老人,人们称他为“塞翁”。有一天,他的马无缘无故跑到胡人的住地去了。邻居们得知此事后,都前来安慰他。然而,塞翁却不以为意,反而说:“这说不定是件好事呢。”
过了几个月,那匹走失的马带着胡人的一群马回来了。人们听闻此事,纷纷前来祝贺塞翁。塞翁却说:“这说不定是件坏事呢。”
塞翁的儿子很喜欢骑马,有一天,他骑着一匹胡人的马摔断了腿。邻居们又前来安慰塞翁。可塞翁还是那句话:“这说不定是件好事呢。”
不久后,胡人大举入侵边境,青年人都被应征入伍,结果大多数人都战死了。而塞翁的儿子因为腿瘸,没有被征兵,得以保全性命。
这个故事告诉我们,在一定的条件下,好事和坏事是可以互相转换的,坏事在一定条件下可能会变成好事,好事在某些情况下也可能会带来负面的结果。
它启示人们要保持一颗平常心,看待事物要全面、辩证,在面对困境时不要过于悲观,也许会有新的机遇;在面对顺境时也不要过于得意,要警惕可能出现的风险。

努力的最大动力,在于你可以选择你想要的生活,而不是被生活选择。
I’m grateful for the dark night coming.No matter how failed I am today,a new day remains to wait for my exertion.感谢黑夜的来临,我知道今天不论有多失败,全新的明天仍然等待我来证明自己。
等待之路需要与笑容携手,只有乐观地面对失败,在等待的成功的路上越挫越勇,希望之火才会为你点燃。
改变,永远不嫌晚。无论你是几岁,也无论你目前所处的境况有多糟,只要立定目标、一步一步往前走,人生随时都有翻盘的可能性。
人这一辈子,要经得起谎言,受得了敷衍,忍得住欺骗,忘得了诺言。慢慢的才知道:坚持未必是胜利,放弃未必是认输,与其华丽撞墙,不如优雅转身。给自己一个迂回的空间,学会思索,学会等待,学会调整。人生,有很多时候,需要的不仅仅是执着,更是回眸一笑的洒脱。
