[00:00.00]Positivity Makes a Difference 积极带来的影响
[00:05.75]Positivity makes the difference between heaven and hell.
[00:11.10]There is a Korean story that illustrates 1 this.
[00:14.71]Once upon a time there was a little boy
[00:17.89]who used to pray to God for an opportunity to see heaven and hell
[00:22.48]so that he could make up his mind on where to go.
[00:26.19]One day his prayers were answered.
[00:29.57]God deputed an angel to guide the boy on his excursion to heaven and hell.
[00:35.92]He was taken, first, to hell.
[00:39.31]What he saw there was different from all that he had heard about hell.
[00:44.58]He found a huge dining table piled up
[00:48.30]with excellent food and people sitting
[00:50.91]around the table looking famished 2 and miserable 3.
[00:54.43]The reason for this was that they had to eat their food with chopsticks
[00:59.35]and they were given chopsticks bigger than walking sticks,
[01:02.95]with which they could not feed themselves.
[01:05.68]So they were all sitting in front of tasty and appetizing food,
[01:10.48]tortured by hunger but unable to eat.
[01:14.11]The boy decided 4 then and there that hell was not the place for him.
[01:19.99]So he was taken to heaven.
[01:22.08]On arrival there,
[01:23.95]what he found truly astonished him.
[01:26.56]He found the same enormous table,
[01:29.31]the same fabulous 5 menu and even the same huge chopsticks.
[01:34.67]But there was a glorious difference;
[01:37.39]the people sitting around the table were looking visibly happy.
[01:41.65]This surprised him no end.
[01:44.19]Then, in a moment, the difference dawned on him.
[01:47.56]Unlike the people in hell,
[01:49.55]these men and women were feeding each other
[01:52.70]across the table with the long chopsticks.
[01:55.68]In simple terms,
[01:57.30]they had the capacity to respond positively 6 to each other
[02:01.01]and to the given problem.
[02:03.10]The huge chopsticks were a problem
[02:06.28]only in respect of feeding oneself,
[02:08.90]but they were a blessing 7 in respect of feeding their neighbors
[02:12.94]sitting at a distance.
[02:14.37]Heaven, in short,
[02:16.01]is a place where people respond positively to each other.
[02:19.84]As a matter of fact,
[02:21.79]there are many “huge chopsticks” in our way to success.
[02:25.42]Only when we react positively to them
[02:29.13]can we transform the problems into driving force
[02:33.18]and finally achieve success.
[02:35.59]So you see, positivity also makes the difference
[02:39.63]between success and failure.
