Chapter 35 Chapter Thirty-Five

The sun does not shine on the earth all the time. Grapes also have their green days. The crisis is not entirely over.The era of peace and prosperity has not yet come. Unfortunately, I learned this fact.Although I have tasted the nectar of success under the inspiration of the parchment, I know that the days to come are not always at the pinnacle of success.No matter how many times I try, no matter how tenacious and brilliant I am in my chosen career, no matter how much it will cost me, setbacks and failures will follow day after day, year after year.Each of us, even the most stalwart and heroic, spends most of our lives in the fear of failure.Is wealth infinite?No, they are never enough.Are we protected?is it safe?But what does it mean to be safe?No sickness, no unemployment, no robbery?Do we have close partners and loving and caring family members?Are friendships to be trusted forever?Will love last forever?

The fear of failure casts a shadow of disaster on our lives.It is varied and unpredictable, both imaginary and real, both vague and clear, fleeting but lingering.This fear is felt by workers fighting to keep their jobs, and it is felt by adults who are breadwinners.This fear afflicts everyone, prince and pauper, wise and foolish, saint and criminal.In the past, I didn't know how to stand up to adversity. The trauma of failure clouded the sky of hope and made dreams come to naught.Now, it won't happen again.It's a new life.Whenever failure strikes, I have a way to turn it around and profit from it.

In every difficult situation, I always look for the buds of success. Adversity is the best school.Every failure, every blow, every loss contains the seeds of success.All of this taught me to be better at my next performance.I no longer brood over failure, no longer evade reality, and no longer refuse to gain experience from past mistakes.Experience is the essence of suffering. The most terrible thing in life is that you can't get the wisdom to prepare for the next time from one failure.Everyone has their own school and gets a different experience.Other than that, there is no other way.Adversity is often an important path to truth.I am ready to learn everything I need to change my situation.

In every difficult situation, I always look for the buds of success. Now, I am fully prepared to face adversity.For the first time, I understood that everything, good or bad, big or small, would pass me by quickly.Neither the achievements of man nor the masterpieces of nature are fleeting.Everything in life is not only in a state of constant change, but they are themselves the cause of never-ending, endless change from one another. Every day I stand on the cliff, behind me is the bottomless abyss of the past, and in front of me is the future, which will drown everything that has happened to me today.No matter what fate I face in the future, I will savor it carefully, and the pain will pass quickly.Only a few know this obvious truth, for the rest hope and purpose disappear when tragedy strikes.These unfortunate people live in the abyss of suffering until their death, sitting on pins and needles every day, begging for sympathy and attention from others.Adversity never destroys those who have courage and faith.Each of us will be tempered in the furnace of suffering, and not all will be reborn.And I will be born again.The gold is preserved in the fiery coals without loss.I am more precious than gold.

Everything will pass. In every difficult situation, I always look for the buds of success. I've discovered that suffering has many benefits, but it's only rarely seen.Suffering is the scale by which friendship is measured, and it is the means by which I learn about my own inner world, allowing me to tap into my own faculties that are often dormant in good times. A person, from birth to death, is always inseparable from suffering.Baoyu cannot shine without being sharpened.Without tempering, I would not be perfect. The moxibustion of the heat of life and the foam bath of the rain of life have benefited me a lot, but every suffering is accompanied by tears.Why does God punish me in this way and make me lose again and again?

Now I know that the moment when the soul suffers is also the moment when there are the most choices and opportunities in life.The success or failure of anything depends on my attitude when I ask for help, whether I hold my head up or down.If I had only been able to play tricks and expedients, the opportunity would have been lost forever, I would have been less prosperous, less accomplished, more miserable, more pitiful, and lesser.But if I believe in God, then from now on, any suffering will be a turning point of victory in my life. In every tribulation, I always look for the germ of victory.

Whenever I am struck down by a terrible failure, after the first pain is over, I find ways to turn the misery into something good.A great opportunity flashes at this moment... This bitter root will surely usher in a garden full of fragrance. In every hardship, I always look for the germ of success.
