We Cannot Expect Everything Perfect

As a human, we must be brave to accept imperfect things. This idea is from an Austrian philosopher Alfred Adler who was born in 1870 and died in 1937, living only sixty-seven years. But his philosophy has been much quoted by many philosophers in the world. It is because his philosophy was so common and practical for use in our daily life.
He said that we must be brave enough to accept unperfect things. He further said that as long as we cannot live alone in this world, troubles in our life is normal in every respect.
Therefore, we must keep a peaceful mind to face the troubled world, turning trouble into happiness. As things in this world, have two sides to look at. One side is happy, and one side is trouble. It entirely depends upon us which side we are to look at.
In our Chinese saying, luck and disaster depend on each other. Today we have luck, but tomorrow we may have disaster, or on the contrary todays’ disaster, tomorrow luck, to which we cannot control.
As long as we are positive, we just live in this very moment, working and enjoying at the present moment which is in our hands. If we do so, we are a happy person.
