太好了！太好了！That's great! That's great!

乐观使不幸减半，悲观使不幸加倍。Being optimistic can reduce ur suffering, while being passive will increase ur suffering.

有位老先生，他经常说：“太好了！太好了！”日子久了，这句话也就成了他的口头禅。如果遇到一连下了好几天的暴雨，很多人为天气不能放晴而大发牢骚的时候，他就说：“太好了！太好了！这些雨要是一天内全部下来，不就会到处洪水成灾了吗？老天把雨分成好几天下，这不是很值得庆幸吗？”

有一次，他太太患了重病，他的朋友认为这次他总不会再说：“太好了”吧。于是大伙儿就特地跑去探望他的太太。他们一进大门，就很急切的问道：“贵夫人的病严不严重啊？”谁知道老先生还是说：“太好了！太好了！”朋友们听了不由得火冒三丈，便质问：“这次就是你不对了，你太太生病，正痛苦的躺在床上，你却说‘太好了’你未免太过分了吧！”

老先生很无奈的回答他们：“你们不知道，我活了这大把年纪，从年轻到老始终是太太在照顾我；这一次她生病，让我有机会好好照顾她，以报答她平日照顾我的恩情，这种事不算好吗？”

这故事说的是正面思考。乐观使不幸减半，悲观使不幸加倍。

阿拉伯有句谚语：“别恼怒玫瑰花丛带着刺，应该庆幸，在刺丛中长出玫瑰。”十人长银玫瑰多刺，而抱怨上苍；缺少有人因刺上有玫瑰，而感谢造物主。玫瑰与刺，就像幸福与不幸，你要去抱怨还是觉得庆幸，你要说：“太惨了”，或是说：“太好了”，全看你自己。

在美国念研究时，我认识的一位室友。有一次餐会上巧遇，由于许久未见，所以我就简单问候他：“你尽况好吗？”
他回答说：“很好。”
我问：“你家人呢，他们都好吗？”
他回答说：“孩子、父母、他们都很好。”
“那你的太太呢？”
“她也很好！”他回答说：“自从他三年前去世之后，一直都很好。”

他将‘永远’很好！

There was an old man who always said : "That's great! That's great!" After awhile, it became his "saying". Even though there was a storm that last for a few days, others kept complaining about the wheather, but this old man said : "That's great! That's great! If the storm came down in a day, a lot of places will be attacked by floods. God seperated the rain to a few days, isn't this something to be thankful of?"

There was once, the old man's wife fell sick, his friends thought that he would not say "That's great!" anymore. So they went to visit his wife. Once they reached there, they asked the old man :"Hows ur wife? Is she getting more serious?" Who knows that the old man said :"That's great! That's great!" His friends became very angry and asked him :"How can you say 'that's great' when ur wife is lying on the bed struggling to survive?"

The old man answered them :"All this while, my wife has taken care of me. Now she is sick, isn't this a chance for me to take care of her? Is this not good at all?"

This story is all about positive thinking. Being optimistic can reduce ur suffering, while being passive will increase ur suffering.

There is a saying ：“Don't complain that rose bushes have thorns, you must feel fortunate, that the roses grow in the thorns." Others always complain that roses have a lot of thorns, but there are only a few that understand that the thorns have roses, and thank God. Rose and thorns, they represent happiness and unhappiness, u can either choose to complain or to choose to feel fortunate, u can either say :"Ah! This sux." or u can juz say :"Yeah! That's great!", its all up to u.

When I was studyin in US, I meet a friend and never contacted. There was once, we met at a function, I asked him :"Hows life?"
He answered :"Great."
I asked him again :"Hows ur family? Still doing good?"
He answered :"My kids, parents, they are all fine."
"And ur wife?"
"She great!" He answered :"In fact, she's been very good since she passed aways 3 years ago."

She will "always" be great!
