Any iron lock, there is a key to open; any problem, there are ways to solve; any hardship, there are ways to free. Some people conclude that there are also three keys to life, as long as you master it, you can turn good fortune and smooth sailing.

  

  The first key is "acceptance".

  

  The world is very complex, everyone since the day they were born, they are in a variety of unfairness. Some are born in the city, some are born in the countryside; some have a lot of money, some are poor; some are high and powerful, some are humble; some are gifted and intelligent, some are ugly and disabled ...... the only thing you can do, is to start from the moment you open your eyes, accept all that you face, accept all that you have, accept all that happens. There is a Chinese proverb: A child does not mind his mother's ugliness, and a dog does not mind his family's poverty. That's right, without parents, there would be no life for us; without family, there would be no cradle for growth.

  

  On the road of life, every person we meet, every thing we have to do, is not an accident. There is always some origin opportunity, there is always some inevitable. But whether it is good or bad, happy or sad, the mountain has a mountain road, the water has a water road, will become the steps of their own growth. The so-called acceptance, is to accept the reality, accept the fate, accept the difficulties, accept the hardships, accept competition, accept failure, accept the ignorance and hostility of others, accept their own mediocrity and inaction.

  

  The second key is "change".

  

  Acceptance is not the same as holding back, not to mention self-loathing. When you find that a road does not work, you can take another road; when you cannot stay in one place, you can stay in another place. Mao Sui, who had not seen any opportunity to show his talent for three years with the king of plain, boldly proposed himself and made a point that only by putting the cone in his pocket could he "see the end of it immediately". It was because of this courageous change that Mao Sui built his career and was immortalized in history. A horse can go through dangers, but a plow is not as good as an ox; a chariot can carry heavy loads, but a river crossing is not as good as a boat. As long as you find your own place of use, you will definitely have a bright life.

  

  The so-called change is a change of perspective, a change of thinking. Can not change others, then change yourself first. When you are in adversity or encounter injustice, not to complain and blame others, but to reflect and review themselves. This is when you will find that the reason why everything is not good, everywhere is not necessarily the problem of others, but their own in the bull's-eye. Fear is afraid of not knowing the disease, not recognizing the disease, obviously sick in their own body, but shouting for others to take medicine.

  

  The third key is "leave".

  

  Many of life's suffering lies in the blind competition. With a person, with a thing to fight, with a situation to fight. More and more, or head bleeding, or both lose. Decades of life experience, I found a law: two people arguing, when you dismiss the other party dumbfounded, is when he hates you the most; two people grudge, when you revenge and knocked the other party down, is also the time of your imminent danger. No one is willing to submit, and the result of pressure to submit, is also pressure but not submission.

  

  Therefore, the highest level of life is not to fight for power, but to stop and give way to reason. Moreover, many times, we are not each other's opponents. Can not afford to mess with, can avoid. Leave the unattainable goal, leave the disharmony of the crowd, leave the environment that can not change, let go of desire, look at the gains and losses, away from right and wrong, not to make things difficult for others, but also to spare themselves. Leave, in order to darkness; put down, in order to travel light!
