Life is like a play, and your acting skill is entirely up to you. Whether you view your situation as a 'cup' (misfortune) or a 'wash' (luck), it is ultimately defined by yourself. Perhaps after the rain, the rainbow you longed for does not appear. Perhaps after your efforts, you do not receive the corresponding reward. However, at the end of the day, we have all tried our best. Maybe the rainbow is just around the corner, and the reward is waiting for you not far ahead. Please live each day earnestly and believe that tomorrow will be better.
