Perspective

What is perspective? Simply, perspective is the way you look at things. There are many different ways in looking at things. When your partner or someone close is going abroad for a few months or years, how do you look at this situation? Some people may look at this as something sad, as they will be apart for a long time, not able to meet each other, distanced relationship seems hard to maintain, and so on. However, some may look at this positively, they treat this as a test for their relationship, they felt happy for their closed one as this is a good exposure and prospective for their closed one, and they provide support to their closed one. This is the different ways of looking at a same situation, in other words, a different perspective.

When you lose your job, how do you know that it is a bad thing? Is losing your job the end of the world? No, of course!! If you think positively, losing a job means you get a chance for a better job. If you don’t lose your job, you don’t even have a chance for a change, thus there won’t even be a chance for improvement. As the chinese saying goes: 塞翁失马,焉知非福. Meaning the old man loses his horse, how does he know that it is not a blessing? Thus, always look at things positively. Happy or sad, you still have to live with it, as this is your life, then why not we choose to live happily? The choice is all yours!
