Nevertheless, the Heaven seemed to show no affection to her who had undergone a rough life. She got her leg broken accidentally when she was nursing her grandson. Due to her old age that posed a great risk to her operation, she did not receive operation and had to lie in bed all day long. Her children all cried heavily, while she merely said, “Why do you cry? I am still living.”
可是,上蒼似乎并不眷顧這位一生坎坷的婦女,她在照看孫子時不小心摔斷了腿,由于年紀太大做手術危險,就一直沒有做手術,她每天只能躺在床上。兒女們都哭了,她卻說:“哭什么,我還活著呢。”
Even though she could not rise from bed, she did not complain about anything and anybody. Instead, she sat on the bed and did some stitching work. She had learnt scarves-weaving, broidery, crafts-making, etc. All her neighbors spoke highly of her skills and came to learn from her.
即便下不了床,她也沒有怨天尤人,而是坐在床上做針線活。她會織圍巾,會繡花,會編手工藝品,左鄰右舍的人都夸她手藝好,還來跟她學藝。
She lived until 86. Before she went to Heaven, she said to her children, “You all should live to your best. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome!”
她活到86歲,臨終前,她對自己兒女們說:“都要好好過啊,沒有過不去的坎。”
We will only get to realize our own iron will and strong tolerating ability after getting stricken heavily. Therefore, no matter what you are suffering from now, do not merely complain about the unfairness of our destiny and maintain low-spirited all the time. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome. Only those who have no confidence and courage to overcome setbacks will be defeated at last!
人總是在遭遇一次重創之后,才會幡然醒悟,重新認識自己的堅強和堅忍。所以,無論你正在遭遇什么磨難,都不要一味抱怨上蒼不公平,甚至從此一蹶不振。人生沒有過不去的坎,只有過不去的人。
