This is a good piece of thought.
Read it carefully & relate it to your life.
Take a look at an apple tree,
There might be 500 apples on the tree and each apple has 10 seeds. That’s a lot of seeds there.
We might ask, “why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apples.?
“Not all seeds grow. In life, most seeds never grow.”
So if you really want to make something happen, you better try more than once.
You’ll attend 20 interviews to get a job.
You’ll talk to 50 ppl to sell 1 house, 1 car or an insurance policy.
And you might meet a hundred acquaintances just to find 1 special friend.
When things are beyond your control,
You must not decide how you think the world SHOULD be,
You must not make rules for how everyone should behave
Then when the world doesn’t obey your rules, you get angry,
That’s what miserable ppl do!
Expectations may sound reasonable, but often these things won’t happen!
So we end up in great frustration and disappointed.
(a) Change the world
(b) Change our thinking
Obviously, its much easier to change our thinking
It is not the problem that is the issue, but rather it is your way and attitude attending to the problem that is the problem.
It is not what happens to you that determine your happiness.
Its how you think about what happens to you.

Plenty of values and philosophies may sound rational for every1 to accept, but when it comes to apply to our life, it seems to be extremely tough..perhaps we need time to absorb this to our life..
