Life

Two businessmen reached a big river, and the current was very strong, normal people could not swim to the opposite bank, however, they needed to cross the river, otherwise they could not arrive their destination. They were seeing each other, and did not know what to do.

At this moment, the first one started to pray to the God, “Lord, please give me the power! I need to cross the river!” Thus God gave him power, by giving him strengths in his shoulders and legs.

The first man started to cross the river, he difficultly swam across the river, towards to the opposite bank, he was reluctantly to put down his backpack, therefore after getting into the water, his backpack became heavier , and much heavier than the strength God had given him. With a big wave, he was caught into the bottom of the river, and did not come back.

The second man also started to pray to the God, “Lord, please give me wisdom, let me cross this river!!” Then, the Lord, gave him wisdom. With the wisdom, he became cleverer…..

Life is not a game, we have plenty of choices, we can rest, run straight or walk slowly, or sometimes turn around, or even walk backwards, no matter what, we should find ourselves a pleasant and comfortable mood.

This is the translation of one of the wise saying in the book that I am reading now, there are plenty of wise sayings there.
