Or if you stay up late and work overtime for an important project, and you see that it is about to be completed, but the computer suddenly crashes and all your efforts come to naught, isn't this another degree of "bottle sinking"?
The "bottle sinking hairpin" in life is everywhere, but please don't be discouraged. Every failure is a stepping stone to success, and every loss makes us cherish what we have now.
Just like the broken porcelain vase and broken hosta, although the heart aches, they also teach us a truth: cherish the present and act carefully.
Moreover, who said that "a bottle sinking hairpin" is necessarily a bad thing?
Perhaps it is precisely because of these small failures and losses that we understand the value of hard work and the hard-won success. Therefore, when the "bottle sinking hairpin" comes again, you might as well smile at it, because every failure is an important step towards success.
