God help self-helpers

A long time ago, there was a villager named Ah Niu in a small village, who got up every morning and spent more than three hours worshiping the gods, believing that "worshiping the gods has its own blessings." His home is home filled with statues of gods, large and small.

One day, the village chief informed the villagers: "Because of the heavy rain for several days, and the water road is silted, so there is probably a danger of flooding, please pack up your belongings and leave the village temporarily to avoid casualties." "Most of the villagers did as instructed, and only a small number of villagers still did not want to leave. Ah Niu smiled even more and said, "I don't have to be afraid, because I sincerely worship God every day, and God will definitely bless me, so I have decided not to leave this village." ”

Finally, the flood was out of control, all the ways out of the village were flooded, and the villagers who failed to leave in time climbed to the roof and waited for others to rescue them, and Ah Niu was no exception, climbing to the roof to avoid the water.

At this moment, a family passed by on a homemade raft and proposed that Ah Niu follow them, but Ah Niu refused. Soon, a big tree floated in front of him, and he did not grasp the big tree as a raft to escape from danger, and after a few hours, a large wooden barrel floated out of nowhere, and Ah Niu ignored it, but only had words in his mouth, convinced that the water was about to recede, and planned how to thank God well.

In the end, Ah Niu was drowned by the flood. When his soul met the God he worshipped most, he burst out in anger and exclaimed, "O God! How exactly did you do it? I sincerely worship you every day, and you have abandoned me and let the flood drown me, how did you do it?"

God listened to what he had said, and said, "Ah Niu, I have sent you rafts, trees, and barrels, and you have not grasped them well. ”

Philosophy of Life :

This is a small joke, after laughing, have you ever pondered that in the face of the so-called opportunities, luck, and fates that many people regard as "gods", many "A Niu" have also sat and waited like this, and finally ended up complaining.

Throughout our lives, we all crave opportunities, but, like the stories around us, we often don't know what opportunity we want or what it will look like. Even knowing that when the opportunity comes, you are often not ready. Occasionally, when you really have the luck to seize an opportunity, but you can't catch the next luck and end up, or because you don't have enough ability and endurance to continuously amplify it, stick to the end, never give up, until you succeed.

Everyone will have good luck. Everyone is equal in front of opportunities, but whether or not you can seize them may not be equal. Because, if you want to help Heaven, you must first help yourself. This is a testament to an old Chinese saying: Heaven help the self-helper!
