Opportunities ... Risk or Danger?

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Hello my dear Steemians ..! Today I want to share with you a story, which I was sent by Wahatssap which left me a pleasant teaching and it says:

One day an old man escaped a horse

The neighbors arrived and told him: hey, what bad luck! What a disgrace!
and the old man replies: MAYBE

the next day I return the horse with seven more horses
and the neighbors approached him and said: Hey, good luck!
and the old man replied: MAYBE

The next day the old man's son, who was helping him with the activities, trying to tame one of the wild horses, fell down and broke his leg,
The neighbors returned to the old man and said:
Hey, bad luck! What a disgrace!
and the old man says: MAYBE

The next day the army arrives and they recruit all the young people of the town to fight in a genocidal war, but the son of the old man was not taken away because he had a broken leg. The neighbors approached the old man and said: Hey good luck !, mine was taken away and yours not!
the old man comes back and replies: MAYBE

The reason for the above is that; and ALAN WATTS says it

It is impossible to know the consequences of a good fortune and it is impossible to know the consequences of bad luck. Many times an adverse, apparently adverse situation ends up being directed towards something positive, and vice versa a negative situation can cause us to submerge in a state of hopelessness so great that it prevents us from seeing the opportunities that are also in it and on the contrary a situation that immerses us in a state of excessive euphoria, excessive confidence may prevent us from seeing the risks that may also exist in it.

Of each experience that happens to us, it leaves us a teaching, it is up to us to take it as opportunities or weaknesses. we can take this example to our day with steemit, when we make a publication and it is not seen or only seen but not voted we should think that something is happening, that we should improve; Either with a catchy title, eye-catching photography or maybe a substantial content. We must continue ahead no matter what happens.
