Chance Only Once

One thousand years ago, there was a very famous philosopher “Socrates” in Greece. One day in his class, a student asked him: “What is the time?” Socrates did not answer, but asked all students to wait in the west entry of a certain forest tomorrow. When the day came, Socrates asked student to go through the forest and out in the east exit. On the way, any student could pick one biggest apple from the tress, but only once. When all students were out the east exit, many of them were empty handed.
It was because they wished to pick the biggest, but time did not allow them to pick second time to compare.
Socrates said when you were on your way to pick up apples, it needed time. Once time is over, you chance is gone, which only had once and no second time.
In our life, we also have chance to better our life, but good chance only has come once. When chance is gone, it comes no more.
Therefore, we have to learn how to seize the opportunity which it comes to our life. Remember good chance only once.
