Thought

Today I thought about a proverb--"the early bird catches the worm." People often say, "Work diligently," and "don't be lazy." That is why people like to say this proverb to another. However, I thought about it differently today. I put myself in a worm's shoes. If a worm wakes up early, what is going to happen? The worm will be eaten by a bird. Then the reward of waking up early for the worm is death. I thought deeply about it, and I realized something. Many people want to do better on what they are capable of, but they have to think differently. It does not matter whether one wakes up early or late, or whether one is lazy or hardworking because not everything is achieved by hardworking. What matters is what kind of a condition one is in. People have to know how to deal with impossible conditions, not how to deal with that they can do when they try.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "What matters is what kind of acondition one is in." What do you mean by "condition"? I agree that hard work doesn't guarantee success, but I think it does help a lot.

yeah..
that part is sound kind of weird..
but what I am saying is we have to know how to deal with an impossible situations because people cannot just give up when they face impossible situations. They have to get through it..
And I will write about how people can
deal with impossible situations...
