This is a traditional story from China. It is the story of an old Chinese farmer who lived many years ago.

Good things, bad things—
—both occur. Things with negative connotations are not fully bad; they have some positive aspects. Similarly fully “good” things can have unexpected consequences. Take advantage of opportunities and openings as they come, regardless of situational connotation.

Perspective
Its important to remember that we never know how things will play out and that the big picture is never 100% in sight, so we have to act accordingly.

Is it Bad Luck
...or something more. Even tho we go through trying times, there is always something good that comes of it.

Wise old man?
I don’t think so. His attitude seems to be “shit happens”, which is most often an inappropriate response to give to someone who is showing concern. I didn’t like this story. 😧👺

Good luck bad luck
The old man in this story really was a wise old man! I can recall several bad luck stories in my life that turned out to be good luck and some good luck times that I later wished hadn’t come along. I wasn’t as wise as the old man. Now that I’m an old woman, this story will be in my mind the next time I have luck and maybe I’ll be wiser!

I must take with me... who knows? We can not control events, we can only control how we react to them. Keep moving forward and your path will appear.

Work
I started a new job a couple weeks ago. I have been so stressed out and overthinking every minor detail that I keep messing up. This story has helped me relax.

To hold too long
I learned that if u hold on too a glass of water for a long time it would begin to feel heavy so heavy I may drop it and to compare that to stress I learned that if I keep holding in this lite stupid stuff I stress over then one day it will be too much and too heavy I may drop it all and just fall down. So I need to just put down that glass of water and live a little.
