　　China News Service Client, Beijing, April 24 (Reporter Xing Rui) There is a long-running line in the movie "Forrest Gump": "Life is like a box of various chocolates, you never know where What would a piece taste like."

　　This quote is classic because it speaks to the unpredictable nature of life.

As people often say, accident or tomorrow, you don't know which will come first.

　　The long journey of life is destined to have too many unevenness and disappointment.

But life is not only full of bitterness and helplessness, some unexpected surprises always meet you unexpectedly around the corner.

Gain without joy, lose without worry

　　As early as more than 2,000 years ago, Zhuangzi had realized the highest realm of life.

"Zhuangzi·Autumn Water" has a cloud: "Gain without joy, loss without worry." In just eight words, it states that gain and loss are normal in life.

　　Su Shi, a great poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, lived up and down in the official sea all his life.

　　In his early 20s, he became a high school jinshi and became famous in one fell swoop.

Originally proud of the spring breeze, eager to shine on the lintel, but unexpectedly his relatives died one after another, and then he was framed by others, and his career plummeted.

　　In the face of these successive blows, Su Shi did not complain.

He let the painful past go away with the wind, and wherever he went after leaving the capital, flowers bloomed for him and the breeze came for him.

　　After being demoted to Mizhou, he led the people to fight drought and eliminate locusts and build water conservancy.

In his spare time, he traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Mizhou, and left a heroic chapter of "the old man chatting with the young crazy".

Because of his arrival, the barren town is also full of poetic and picturesque.

　　After being demoted to Huangzhou, he reclaimed wasteland and cultivated rice. He called himself "Dongpo Jushi".

Su Shi, who is far away from the strife of world affairs, is devoted to the mountains and rivers, and spends his days free and easy.

Drunk in the rain, you can also sing a song: "Bamboo sticks and mans shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of mist and rain will let you live your whole life."

　　Living in Hainan in old age, he ran a school here, introduced the style of study, cultivated Jiang Tangzuo, a proud student, and left a good story of teachers and students "When the sea was broken, Zhuya was unprecedented."

　　Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, success or failure, and prosperity ends, often in an instant.

Since you can't predict your gains and losses, you might as well learn to let go, learn to look down on things like Su Dongpo did, and don't take the gains as joys and losses as worries.

If you are wonderful, God will arrange it

　　Mao Buyi sang in the song "Stop making trouble": "Live, don't be too anxious, life will give you answers slowly; live, show a little patience, and you will meet a better self."

　　Sometimes, we always complain about the injustice of life, but forget to strive to become a better version of ourselves.

Life is hard, only self-help.

When a person gritted his teeth and walked through the hard days, the good will surely come as promised.

　　Last month, Chinese race walker Sister Cheyang Shi finally got her Olympic gold medal at the age of 32.

　　In the 2012 London Olympics, the fledgling sister Cheyang Shi won the bronze medal by breaking the Asian record.

In the following ten years, her pursuit of the highest podium has never changed.

　　The growth of age and the invasion of injuries have not been able to overwhelm her.

But from the age of 22 to 32, she has repeatedly missed the gold medal in the competition.

　　The fifth place in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the runner-up in the 2017 National Games, and the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games were overtaken while leading the way, and again missed the gold medal.

　　After the Asian Games, Sister Cheyang Shi lay on the railing and cried for a long time...

　　However, fate will not treat those who work hard, what should be hers will be hers after all.

In 2015, the silver medalist of the women's race walking at the London Olympics was cancelled due to doping violations, and Sister Cheyangshi made up for the silver medal; in 2022, the London Olympic gold medalist Yelena Rashmanova was also cancelled due to doping issues.

　　Sister Cheyang Shi, who has worked hard on the track and field for many years, finally waited for her late gold medal.

Don't love the past, don't welcome the future

　　Zeng Guofan has this sentence in his collection of essays: "Things come to conform, but they will not be welcomed in the future. They were not mixed at the time, and they are not in love with each other."

　　In the TV series "Yang Guang's Happy Life", the protagonist Yang Guang lives with his father in an old two-story building. He used to work in a pencil factory, but he was suddenly laid off.

Without a job, the relationship between Yang Guang and his girlfriend Xia Li has cracked, and the originally good marriage prospects have also cast a shadow.

　　After experiencing successive blows, Yang Guang still maintains an optimistic philosophy of life: "It's good to be happy if you have money or not."

　　He is content with the status quo, but optimistic and kind, he accomplishes nothing, but does not blame others.

He is neither anxious nor looking forward to what does not happen in the future.

　　Some people say he is a "middle-aged waste wood", but instead of worrying and restless all day, it is better to let go of unrealistic fantasies and focus on living the current life.

　　Life is always accompanied by joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows.

In the face of an unknown tomorrow, perhaps only by looking down on the gains and losses, focusing on the present, and maintaining a positive attitude, can we embrace surprises more calmly.
