Once there was a businessman walking to his home late at night. At that moment he heard a mysterious sound, “If you pick up several stones, and you will gain happiness and sorrow tomorrow.” The businessman was in doubt that how happiness and sorrow would appear at the same time. So he picked up several stones casually and put them into his pocket. To his surprise, all the stones turned into gold in the next morning. The businessman felt very happy, but meanwhile he got sad, beat his own head and said, “It is a great pity that I took very few stones at that time.” There is another story as follows: a wise man led a traveler to the front of a vault door and said to him, “You can take treasures that you want, but you must carry them on the road.” So the traveler took some gold and thought regretfully, “What bad luck I am, for my luggage is so small!” In the next early morning, he found that the gold in his travelling bag changed into stone. Because they were so heavy that he couldn’t take them out and had to carry these useless stones to walk forward in pain. At this point, he rejoiced at his small bag and said, “Thank goodness, I took only three stones. After reading these two stories, I have learnt much from them. It is no deny that we will come across many choices in our whole life. Whether they are stones or gold, time will tell. Now I would like to give you several suggestions. Firstly, we should think twice before we make our decisions. In addition to analyzing situations accurately, maybe we can listen to advice from our families, friends or teachers, who love us from the bottom of their heart. Secondly, as the saying goes: attitude is everything, so if we decide to take actions, we should keep optimistic no matter what will happen in the future. Thirdly, we should keep on fighting for our purposes all the time. In fact, all the happiness and sorrow that we experience in our life are choices made by ourselves. The things you are engaged in everyday will be changed into stones or gold in your hands in the future. Please bear in mind that even if it is sorrow, it brought happiness to you. Never regret once you choose it! In a word, there are more information about stones on stonebtb.
