Out of the Thousand and Being by the Thousand: The Revelation of a Gambling
On a sunny weekend, Xiao Zhang had nothing to do and went to a nearby casino. He had never been interested in gambling, but that day he wanted to try his luck on a whim. In the casino, he meets a middle-aged man who calls himself Lao Li, who looks suave and generous. The two quickly became acquainted and began to play cards together.
Xiao Zhang didn't know anything about gambling, and relied on Lao Li's guidance. Lao Li seems to be very good at gambling, and from time to time he teaches Xiao Zhang some "secrets". Xiao Zhang felt that Lao Li was a rare friend, so he told him his hole cards.
The gambling went well, and Xiao Zhang felt that he was lucky and won a lot of money. At this time, Lao Li proposed to play a bigger gamble and said that he had "special tools" to ensure victory. Xiao Zhang became curious, so he followed Lao Li to a secret room.
In the room, Lao Li took out a set of delicate tools, which were covered with various mechanisms. Xiao Zhang was immediately suspicious, but Lao Li swore that this tool would not be tried and tested. Xiao Zhang hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to believe Lao Li and paid him 6,000 yuan to buy this set of tools.
Back at the gambling table, Xiao Zhang operated according to Lao Li's instructions, but to his surprise, he kept receiving signals from Lao Li to "go out of the old man"! It turned out that Lao Li did not want to help Xiao Zhang, but wanted to cheat him out of money! Xiao Zhang panicked and lost a mess.
This gamble taught Xiao Zhang a profound educational lesson. He realizes that life is full of traps and cannot easily trust the sweet words of strangers. Since then, Zhang has never set foot in the casino again.
This story tells us that there is often only a thin line between being a thousand and being a thousand. In life's gamble, we cannot rely on any unfair means to win. Only by being honest and down-to-earth can we win real success and respect.
