精品文档 祸兮福之所倚，福兮祸之所伏 My Motto of life——Gains and losses Go Side by Side For everybody, life is far from being perfect. There are so many unsatisfactory things in our lives that sometimes we may think life is all about failures and reverses. In extreme cases,some people cannot get over their setbacks and choose to end their lives. And others, having lost their enthusiasm for life,just drag along without knowing their goals or what they are heading for. I feel sad for them. What future will these people have? What can they achieve in their lives? What will they obtain by living like this in the world? Of course, they do not know the answers, because they have been made dull by their pessimism.

However, due to the pessimistic and critical side of human nature, we too frequently only see the losses. We sigh, we complain. We claim that life is unfair.
