Sometimes amazing things just happen in our lives,
they can be good or bad things happening beyond our control, however,
more importantly are our reactions towards them which determine our
personal quality and character.
Recently Qiqi encountered an ‘amazing’ event in her
school... when she entered the washroom one evening, she was shocked to
discover a pile of poop on the floor. She and her company were so
amused that they started taking photos on the
mess and wondered how it could possibly happened. After overcoming the
‘surprise’, she reacted amazingly too... by deciding to clean up the
mess as the cleaners had left for the day and it would be too smelly for
anyone to use the washroom the next day.
So, along with a friend, they used the water hose to flush and clean
the poop away.
We are pretty impressed by Qiqi’s ability to react
to this incident positively regardless of the ‘unfavourable’
circumstance, an asset which is definitely valuable in her life. As
Buddhism always teaches us, it is through all the challenges
we encountered and overcome which made us a stronger and better
person.
