When I was a child, my grandmother told me that a person's mentality can determine a person's life direction. I was confused at the time. When my grandmother saw that I didn't understand, she told me a story:
In ancient times, there was a scholar who failed in the rural examination for many years, but his wife always encouraged him to retake the exam. He said that his wife is good at talking, always giving him nice words, and she is embarrassed every time she feels unlucky.
Near the exam, he had a dream that he was walking carefully on the high earth wall, for fear that he might accidentally fall down. At the other end of the earth wall, there is a red sorghum. He was about to leave when the red sorghum fell and he woke up.
After telling his wife this dream, he said, I may not pass the exam this time. You want me to walk on the earth wall, which means the road is narrow. I fell down again when I was picking sorghum. You see, there are indications that I will fail. I'd better not take the exam.
The wife listened to his words and said with a smile, you must take the exam this time. You see, when you walk alone on the earth wall, you are straight, and the red sorghum on the wall is a good sign.
He asked inexplicably what a good sign this was.
His wife said that there is a red sorghum on the high wall, which means "tree" in high school. You are sure to win this time.
He was very happy after listening to his wife's words and went to the exam with joy. Later, I really won the Jinshi.
Different people have different views on one thing. A person who always feels unlucky should be a negative person. He always sees the bad side of things and doesn't see the good side. Everything has two sides, and your own mentality and psychological endurance determine which side you can see.
