Good luck or Bad luck ? Who knows !

There was a old Chinese farmer who used his only horse to work on his farm for years. One day the horse broke the fence and ran away when the planting season was coming up. His neighbors heard about it, they came to the farmer and said, “That is really bad luck for losing the horse at this time of the year!” The farmer replied: “Good luck, bad luck. Who knows?”

A few days later, the horse came back with a mare horse. When the neighbors heard about that, they said to the farmer, “What good luck that is, you will have more horses.” The farmer replied: “Good luck, bad luck. Who knows?”

Two days later, the farmer’s son broke his leg when he was training the new horse. The neighbor came to the farmer again and said:” what bad luck that is ?” The farmer still replied the same: “Good luck, bad luck. Who knows?”

The next day, the army marched into the village and conscripted every able-bodied youth they found there. When they saw the farmer’s son with his broken leg, they let him off. Now was that good luck or bad luck?

Who knows?

The way to keep your dream alive

Once upon a time, the frog neighborhood had a climbing competition, the destination was the top of the tall iron tower. There were lots of frogs standing under the tower to watch and discuss, none of them believed any of the competitors could get to the top of the tower.

“As a frog, to get the top of the tower is impossible!”
“We should stay on the ground, we don’t have wings, claiming that height is the most dangerous thing to our frogs!”
“Right! see?more frogs falling down….”
“It’s really a bad idea to have a frog climbing competition, no frog is going to win, we just waste our time here……”
“We are just frogs , the beautiful sky does not belong to us….”

Some of the competitors heard from the spectators, they felt so discouraged, so when the height got higher and higher, more and more frogs fell.

At the end, only one frog kept going up and up, the spectators still believed there’s no way he could get to the top, but he never showed that he was frustrated for doing that . Yes! finally he got to the top of the tower, he won!

When other frogs went to ask him how he made that happen, they found out he was a deaf !
