Once an old Chinese teacher said to his student: “Please look around this room and try to find everything in it that is brown.” The young man looked around. There were a lot of brown objects in the room: wooden picture frames, a sofa, a curtain rod, book bindings and many other small things. “Now close your eyes and list all the objects... blue,” the teacher asked. The young man was confused: “But I don’t care.” didn’t notice! Then the teacher said: “Open your eyes.” Just look at how many blue objects there are!!! It was true: a blue vase, blue photo frames, a blue carpet... The student replied: - But this is a trick! After all, at your direction, I was looking for brown, not blue objects! The teacher sighed quietly, and then smiled: “That’s exactly what I wanted to show you!” You searched and found only brown. The same thing happens to you in life: you look for and find only the bad and lose sight of all the good! - I was always taught that you should expect the worst, and then you will never be disappointed. And if the worst does not happen, then a pleasant surprise awaits me. Well, if I always hope for the best, I will expose myself to the risk of disappointment! - Confidence in the benefits of expecting the worst makes us lose sight of all the good things that happen in our lives. If you expect the worst, you will definitely get it. And vice versa. It is possible to find a point of view from which every experience has a positive meaning. From now on you will look for something positive in everything!
