Lately, at the beginning of this month, I was on a vacation with my family in the Innermogolia grassland. All of a sudden, my cellphone rang and it turned out to be my property manager. I was told thatthere was a flood inside my house. And in one after another phonecall, I realize how serious the issue is－my whole house was drawned in flood, what’s more, the water flew everywhere even into elevator and the house downstairs.
I was totally freaked out at that time, realizing there was no time to lose, I rushed back to Tianjin from the neighboring province at once. When I reached my house, I found that everything wasruined, not to mention making compensation to my neighbors.
I feel completely in the dark on this question. Luckily, Laowang and chouchou offered a place for me to live at the first moment, lying in her couch, I asked Laowang“why life is so hard”, laowang smiled and said“it doesn’t really count in a lifelong time and things has already happened.”
Yes, things has already happened, Laowang’word and chouchou’s companion gave me some kind of courage, then it comes to me that I can take the ‘disaster’ from another point of view. I have a chance to try the Japanese style I have imagined for a long time before, and I can try some new and morden decoration, then I can live a new house again…
That reminds me of a little story when I was in middle school. Once upon a time, there is a king and his minister, and that minister had a motto:** everything happened is already in its best manner**” One day, the king had an accident while hunting and his little finger was spited by a tiger. As was ecpected, the minister said: everything happened is already in its best manner. The king was angry and shouted at the minister ’how can you dare say that’s a best’and put him into the jail. In a second hunting, the king was captured
by man-eater for sacrifice. However, the man-eater found he was not complete for a sacrifice and then released him. The king returned and told the minister “you are right, the loss of my little finger is a best for me this time, but how do you take it while staying in jail for two month?” the minister answered “it’s a best for me too, cause if I’m not in the jail, I would be the sacrifice instead.”
**Things has already happened and we need believe everything happened is already in its best manner, what we need is to face it.

Back to my story, in the process of rebuilding my house, I received and experienced a lot. There were many friends offering help to solve my problems and provide places for me to stay. What’s more, I got to know many warm and kindhearted neighbors. They not only passed the matter by, but also provided me a lot of ideas to rebuild my house.
We are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed from comedy, so every time when we come across some trouble, we can try to take it from another point of view, with an optimistic attitude, with a positive way. **And remember everything happened is already in its bset manner, what we need is to face it calmly.
If life give you a lemon, make a lemonade。
