Fortunately, We Are Still Alive.

A man came across an immortal one night. The fairy told him that something great was going to happen to him. He would have the chance to get a lot of money, get an excellent position in society, and marry a beautiful wife.

The man waited all his life for this strange promise, but nothing happened.

He spent his whole life in poverty, and ended up alone and dead.

When he died, he saw the immortal again. He said to the immortal, "you have said that you have to give me wealth, high social status and beautiful wife. I have waited all my life, but there is nothing."

The fairy replied, "I didn't say that.

I only promised to give you the opportunity to get wealth, a respectable social position and a beautiful wife, but you let these opportunities slip away from you. "

The man was puzzled. He said, "I don't understand what you mean."

The fairy replied, "you remember that you once thought of a good idea, but you didn't act because you didn't dare to try it if you were afraid of failure."

The man nodded.

The immortal continued, "because you didn't act, this idea came to mind for a few years later. The man did not fear at all. He later became the richest man in the country.

Also, you should remember that there was a big earthquake, and most of the houses in the city were destroyed, and thousands of people were trapped in the collapsed houses.

You have the opportunity to help save those surviving people, but you are afraid that thieves will rob you when you are not at home. You use this as an excuse to deliberately ignore those who need your help, but just keep your house.

The man nodded awkward.

The fairy said, "that's a good chance for you to save hundreds of people, and how much respect and glory you can get in the city with that opportunity."

"And," said the fairy, "do you remember a beautiful woman with dark hair? You were attracted to her very strongly. You never liked a woman so much, and never met a woman like her again.

But you don't think she will like you, or even promise to marry you. You let her slip away from you because you are afraid of being rejected.

The man nodded again, and this time he shed tears.

The fairy said, "my friend, it is she!

She should have been your wife, you would have several beautiful children, and with you, your life would be a lot of happiness. "

Yes, we are surrounded by many opportunities every day, including opportunities for love.

But often, like the person in the story, we always stop because of fear, and the opportunity slips away.

But we have an advantage over the man in the story: we are still alive.

We can seize the opportunities from now on, and we can start to create our own opportunities.

If they do not create opportunities, they will probably be buried by society.

So we must be good at creating and grasping opportunities. Opportunities are the same for everyone.

Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, had been very competitive before he was famous, but he was still not known.

When Bai Juyi first started in Changan, because he had no fame, he wanted to create an opportunity for himself, so he volunteered himself to the social celebrities at that time.

Gu Kuang listens, there is a person named Bai Juyi, immediately sarcastic way: "Changan Mi GUI, it is not easy to live here."

But when he read Bai Juyi's "farewell to the old grass grass", Bai Juyi's evaluation was very different.

It felt very delicious. When he read "wild fire can not burn up, and the spring breeze is blowing again," he shouted to himself, sighing, "such a talent, Bai Ju Yi Yi!" so he summoned him immediately and vigorously promoted him, so that Bai Juyi soon became famous in Changan and stood firm.

Opportunities can be created and grasped by themselves.

But too many people spend the rest of their lives waiting for a perfect opportunity to send them home so that they can have glorious moments.

Until they understand that every opportunity belongs to those who take the initiative to find opportunities. It is too late.

Opportunity is not waiting for it to come.

Smiles said, "if you can't get a chance, you can create opportunities for yourself."

The door of opportunity has to be opened on its own strength, so every day we have to work hard and be full of confidence and interest in the work.

Remember, opportunity does not come from waiting. You must fight for it.

Henry, 15 years old, borrowed 0.25 yuan from his brother and published a small print advertisement in the newspaper: a young man who works hard and diligently works hard.

Soon, it was hired by the famous company.

He began to be a waiter with very little salary, complicated and tense work, but he was always smiling and trying to help other people's work.

Later, Henry was loved by the chairman and was subsidized. He became a multimillionaire because of the establishment of an iron plant.

Carnegie, his friend, steel magnate, praised himself in his autobiography. "Henry is the way to create opportunities and develop his own future automatically and actively."

Opportunity favors those who care. They only pay attention to those prepared minds, only those who know how to pursue it, but only those who have the ideal doers.

If you eat all day, do nothing, or be adversity, you will be disappointed and frustrated. Chances will not come to you automatically.

"Since ancient times, many talented people have been suffering, Shao Weinan, the playboy."

"Good morning and good luck don't come."

These poems show how important it is to seize opportunities and seek opportunities for our lives.
