As a human being, one should live in the present! 8 Classic Life-Altering Questions Question 1: If there’s a restaurant near your home that serves expensive and tasteless food, with cockroaches crawling on the tables, would you keep going there over and over again just because it’s convenient and close by? 　　Answer: You would surely say, what a stupid question – who would be that foolish as to spend money to invite trouble? 　　But in a different situation, one might do similar stupid things themselves. 　　Many men and women have complained that their lovers or spouses have bad character, are infidel, and are irresponsible. Knowing that there’s no good outcome in being together, with resentment outweighing love, yet “for some reason” one still continues to be involved with that person and can’t break up. To put it plainly, it’s just out of reluctance, out of habit – isn’t that the same as going to a restaurant? 　　——Why be so persistent in life? ! 　　Question 2: If you accidentally lose 100 dollars and only know that it seems to be somewhere you’ve been, would you spend 200 dollars on a ride just to get those 100 dollars back? 　　Answer: A super stupid question. 　　Yet, similar things keep happening in life. One makes a mistake; knowing they are at fault, they refuse to admit it and instead spend double the time coming up with excuses, which greatly undermines the impression others have of them. Being scolded with a few words yet spending countless hours feeling sad – it’s the same principle. Getting angry over something, willing to harm others and suffer losses for one’s own sake, willing to spend money and time just for revenge – isn’t that equally pointless? 　　Losing someone’s affection, knowing that nothing can be undone, still causes such pain; and that pain lasts for years, forcing one to turn to alcohol to ease the sorrow, until one becomes emaciated. Actually, this is of no use at all; it only leads to more losses. 　　——As a person, why make things difficult for yourself? ! 　　Question 3: Would you be too afraid to go outside if, by opening the newspaper, you saw that there are car accidents every day? 　　Answer: What is this crappy question? Of course not; that would be throwing away the chance to eat because of a small problem. 　　However, many people have said that with the high divorce rate these days, they don’t even dare to get into a relationship. It’s said as if it’s completely obvious. There are also many women who, after reading the various reports on this topic, become worried about their partners – isn’t that a similar reaction? Optimism means believing that: even though the path is full of difficulties, I am still the person who can cross the road safely; as long as I am careful, there’s no need to be afraid of crossing the road. 　　——To be a person, one must first believe in oneself. 　　Question 4: Do you believe that anyone can succeed in building a career just by chance? 　　Answer: Of course not. 　　But it has been observed that after listening to the well-thought-out advice given by successful people, such as reading more and practicing more*, someone always asks another question Isn’t that very difficult? 　　We all want to learn English well in 3 minutes and solve all problems in 5 minutes – is success really that easy? Changing is of course difficult. Success comes from not fearing difficulties, which is why one can stand out. 　　Once, while sitting in a taxi, I heard the driver, seeing luxury cars in front of and behind him, exclaim, \"Sigh, why are other people so rich, while it’s so hard for me to earn money?\" ” 　　On a whim, I asked him, “What do you think are the kinds of money that are easy to make in this world?” ”He couldn’t answer; it took him some time before he said, It seems that making money from other people’s money is easier. 　　In fact, every success is achieved through hard work. We really shouldn’t complain about fate. 　　——In life, rely on yourself! 　　Question 5: Do you think someone who has never played basketball at all can be a good basketball coach? 　　Answer: Of course not; an amateur cannot lead experts. 　　However, there are many people who know nothing about a particular industry; they simply hear that it’s profitable and then start a business in it right away. 　　I’ve seen people who have no taste when it comes to clothing, or who simply don’t care about what they wear, yet still dream of opening a clothing store ； Those who don’t know how to turn on a computer still want to chat online; they rely on hearsay instead of reflecting on whether their own skills are insufficient, and they only complain about the lack of time. 　　——In life, act according to your capabilities. 　　Question 6: A similar but different question: Do you think a basketball coach can still lead to a perfect victory without stepping onto the court, with their eyes closed? 　　Answer: It’s sick; of course it’s impossible. 　　Yet there are many friends who, despite not having the time to take care of things themselves, rush to invest in opening cafes, restaurants, or businesses they don’t understand at all; they eagerly spend their hard-earned savings in an attempt to become investors in a reckless manner. You always lose more than you win, yet you think it’s due to bad luck rather than a problem with your approach. 　　——As a person, remember to reflect on yourself. 　　Question 7: Would you rather regret it forever than give it a try to turn defeat into victory? 　　Answer: I’m afraid no one would say, “Yes, that’s exactly what kind of coward I am.” 　　Yet, we often give up desperately at times when we shouldn’t, too afraid of failure to even try for success. 　　Take Guan Yingshan’s outstanding performance when she won the 2000 World Figure Skating Championships as an example: she was determined to win first place, yet before the final competition she was only in third place in the overall score. In her final free-skating routine, she chose to take risks rather than try to make fewer mistakes. In the 4-minute program, the most difficult triple axel was incorporated, and it was even boldly performed twice in a row. She might also have lost badly, but she succeeded after all. 　　She said, “Because I don’t want to wait until I fail and then regret not having utilized my potential.” ” 　　A great figure from China once said ； The hope for victory and the restoration of favorable circumstances often arise from efforts to hold on a little longer. 　　——In life, why not take a chance? 　　Question 8: You have unlimited time and live forever, so should the thing you most want to do be postponed indefinitely? 　　Answer: No, only a fool would think that. 　　Yet we often say that when I’m old, I want to travel around the world ； When I retire, I’ll do what I want to do ； When the children grow up, I will be able to... We all think we have unlimited time and energy. In fact, we can achieve our ideals step by step, without wasting our lives in waiting. If we could work step by step to get closer now, we wouldn’t spend half of our lives only to end up with the outcome we least want to see. 　　——As a human being, one should live in the present.
