No one will be unlucky for a lifetime


Once, a teacher gave a class to a group of indefatigable and hopeless students. She had a multiple-choice question on the blackboard. The question was: Which of the following three people do you think will become a model that the world admires? A He believes in witch doctors, has two mistresses, has a history of smoking for many years, and is addicted to alcohol; B has been driven out of the office twice, getting up at noon every day, drinking about 1 liter of brandy every night, and There used to be a record of smoking opium; C was a national hero of fighting, always maintaining vegetarian habits, loving art, occasionally drinking some wine, and never doing illegal things when he was young.

The students almost all chose C. The reason is very simple. The first two people are ignorant, ignorant, and have a poor living habit. There is no big difference in the future. The third person is different. He has dazzling achievements. With a clear goal, a good habit of living, it is entirely possible to be a person who is admired.

After the students spoke through, the teacher smiled and said faintly: "Children, you are very reasonable, but your judgments are wrong. In fact, the first two people have become respected. The hero, and the latter became the murderer of everyone. The three men are US President Franklin Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Adolf Hitler, the number one war of the Second World War."

The students were stunned after listening, and they could not have imagined that the fate of these three people would be so different. The teacher went on to say: "In fact, what a person looks like in the future, no one can say it right. People are not sages, you can't do it. Although you have this or that in the past, if you can rehabilitate And come back again, who can guarantee that you will not be the second Roosevelt and Churchill in the future?"

After many years, this group of “problem” students have become elites in society. Looking back on the past, they still feel a lot of emotions. The past did not really represent the future. In the past, it did not mean success now and success in the future; and failure in the past does not mean failure now and failure in the future. No one is destined to be a rich man when he is born, and no one is destined to be jealous when he is born; no one is lucky for a lifetime, and no one is unlucky for a lifetime. Whether you have been good or bad, whether it is vigorous or bleak, whether it is lucky or unfortunate, it doesn't matter. The key is that you have confidence and hope for the future.
