  An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer that he didn't want to build a house anymore and wanted to live a more leisurely life with his old partner and that although he was very attached to the pay, it was time for him to retire.

   The employer saw that the good worker was leaving and felt very sorry for him, so he asked him if he could build another house, even if it was to give him personal help, the carpenter agreed, but the carpenter's mind was no longer on the job, not only the craft regressed, but also cut corners.

   After the carpenter finished, the employer came, he patted the carpenter's shoulder and said sincerely: the house is yours, this is my gift to you.

   The carpenter was shocked: what a shame! If he knew that he was building a house for himself, he would work in a completely different way.

   Every day you nail a nail, put a plank, and build a wall, but often do not do your best, and eventually, to your surprise, you will have to live in the house you built. If you could do it all over again ...... but you can't go back!

   Life is a do-it-yourself project, and the attitude we take in doing things today determines the house we live in tomorrow.

   Life is diverse and colorful, sometimes visiting us unexpectedly, however, life is also sometimes challenging, and cruel, and perhaps it comes at a moment when we are unprepared.

  The mind determines success or failure!

  Helen grew up blind and deaf, but she became a world-famous writer and translator under the unbelievable pressure of her tenacity and perseverance.

  There may be challenges in real life that make us feel depressed and disillusioned, but at this point, we may want to compare our reality with Helen's, and we will find that these are nothing.

  I am a firm believer in Helen, a great and miracle-working woman.

  Whether in my study or life, even in the face of heavy pressure, and frustration, she has become my hard work and tenacity to fight the idol, perhaps the test results are not ideal, but who will not experience these? Maybe I will not make any big contribution to this society, but I am seriously obeying the law every day. Perhaps the unfamiliar environment makes me feel at a loss, but this is a test that everyone goes through in life. Mindset is really important.

   When we look at things with a calm eye, find things, and treat things, we will find that many problems will be solved, and the road in front of us will continue to expand and widen.

  Like those setbacks and difficulties, what they fear most is our firm attitude. Weaknesses are not terrible, as long as we use the attitude of appreciation and development to see, gradually, we will find that it gradually become our strengths, our strengths, like a scale on the left and right side of the weights, the left side is the current life, the right side is our mentality, want to make the balance of the left and right side of the scale, we must continue to add to the right side of the positive mentality, and constantly change themselves.

   The blandness, boredom, the loss of time, the uninteresting life, and the uncertainty of the future filled my life now. I can't see the road in front of me! Sometimes they feel fear and helplessness about life, this is the choice that people face, you must summon the courage to go on, perhaps you are now facing the darkest time before the dawn, what kind of life you choose to have what kind of lifestyle, in front of the difficulties may be the easiest time for opportunities, depending on what kind of attitude you use to face the problems ahead of you, attitude determines everything, yourself Decide their own life and future, believe in themselves is not wrong, the future of the good hand in your hands.

   It is like playing a game, when you are about to upgrade is often the most difficult time, rushing past the pass, rushing past the same as continuing to fight again, with a positive mindset, with a calm mind, a grateful mind to do everything, your attitude determines your future.
