this chinese old proverb , do you agree? is it correct?
" evertyhing depends ON how your mind reads iT."
today I had my hair cut in hair salon.
it was relly like a hell, the employee was a new comer.
she really slowly cut my hair.
and there was playing a loud indian music constantly mixed with lousy noise from electric hairdrier or cutter.
it was really nagging and annoying sound
I thought I was going to have nerve breakdown .
I yelled stop that music plz,
they turned down the music.
then I recalled this chinese proverb.
I tried to overcome my inner discomfort I looked at the girl cutting my hair .
I found her sweating with red face.
she was trying so hard.
I could forgive her.
anyway she s done ok.
do you think we can really overcome daily annoying situation or even serious situation as this old chinese words teach?
I agree. Our reactions may differ to a same situation according to your readiness to accept it as good or as bad…
yes, and the Christian term for this proverb is giving grace.

Yes, I do believe we can overcome an annoying situation if we just think about what we’ll say and think about what kind of reaction it will bring.

How we perceive the world around us makes a huge difference on how we feel/react to it. If we can stop and re-think a bad situation, alot of times we can change our own perceptions, and create a sense of peace for ourselves. It takes alot of work and alot of practice.
