When I got this picture book, I was attracted, and the design of the whole picture book was very interesting, on the one hand was the story of Mr. Luck, and on the other hand, it was the story of Mr. Bad Luck. In this way, the authors are showing the difference in their fates.
They live in the same apartment building, travel to the same destination, and the results are completely different. What happened to Mr. Bad Luck and Mr. Luck? Why is there a different situation?
Mr. Unlucky was unemployed, decided to travel to relax, encountered various unhappiness at the beginning of the journey, did not catch the plane late, lost his luggage in his car rental, encountered a storm on the way to the destination, drenched in soup chicken, and the hotel was full and could not stay.
Mr. Good Luck has been lucky. After he decided to travel, he prepared unhurriedly, encountered a plane delay, he happened to be strolling around the airport to buy a white hat, he happened to enjoy dinner at the old woman's house he had helped during the storm, and because the old woman's son knew the hotel manager, he could easily check into the hotel early in the morning.
Mr. Hapless's misfortune and Mr. Luck's series of seemingly good fortunes actually have a reason.
Mr. Hapless wanted to travel to a small island on a whim, but he did not make a travel guide in advance, and he did not even know whether there was a direct flight there; although he prepared two boxes for summer clothes and thick clothes, it seemed as if he had made two preparations, but in fact, this preparation was very blind, and bringing one more box added trouble to himself. Later, a box was forgotten in the rented car; he rode past the station, and happened to encounter a storm and slept in the wilderness...
After Mr. Luck decided to go on a trip, he called the travel agency to find out about the situation and set an alarm clock in advance to prepare for the trip. He arrived at the airport early, the plane could not reach the destination directly, he rented a car and was eager to help an old woman, asking her to take her own car. Later, the old woman invited him to stay at her house on a stormy night, and her son introduced him to the hotel manager. And he met his future girlfriend through the hotel manager.
What can we read from this book?
First, be a person with a concept of time and a plan
Prepare in advance so you don't lose everything. Mr. Unluck did not set an alarm clock, so he got up late the next day and panicked and went out so that he could not catch the plane, which led to a series of unfortunate events in the future.
It is important to cultivate a child's concept of time from an early age. Before my daughter did not want to get up, slowly climbed up, until she saw that she was almost late, she hurried to eat breakfast, hurried out of the house to go to kindergarten, in this case it is easy to forget to bring something. Later we learned Mr. Good Luck and prepared in advance what we needed for the next day. For example, choose the clothes you want to wear the next day, what you want to bring to the kindergarten, set up a few points to go to the kindergarten from home, and slowly develop good habits.
Second, be a helpful person
Helping others is helping oneself. Mr. Good Luck also received help from the old woman and her son after helping the old woman. Helping others can lead to more friendships, and you will feel happy about helping others.
Third, remain optimistic. Although life is not satisfactory nine times out of ten, God has closed one door for you and another window for you. Will Mr. Unlucky really be unlucky all the time? Not really. As a result, he won the jackpot and became a rich man.
Sometimes we try our best and still can't change the dilemma, but we can maintain an optimistic state of mind and find a different way out for ourselves. Therefore, whether the wind direction of life is a tailwind or a headwind, it is entirely up to us.
In short, this is a picture book worth reading many times, not only suitable for children to read, but also to bring adults to think about life.
