A selection of stories about luck

Fortunately, you don't always do what you want to do, but always hope to achieve the purpose of what you do. So how many stories about luck have you read? The following is a selection of lucky stories I compiled for you, hoping to help you!

I still remember seeing the old man for the first time, because it was on a Christmas night. That year, I lived alone in the home of a lawyer in a city as an intern, and my life was extremely depressed.

On February 24th, 65438, I had nowhere to go, so I had to walk back to my residence. The cold weather forced me to speed up my steps. On holidays, this street is the home of singles and homeless people. I really envy those pedestrians! Really, it's Christmas for me to watch them busy with big and small packages. Apart from many beaming faces, where can people like me find holiday happiness? Pedestrians are holding piles of gifts, and their eyes from their scarves are shining with goodwill. This reminds me that giving gifts to others is much more interesting than accepting gifts; Also, generally speaking, people are kind only when they are happy. At that time, I was full of resentment towards almost everything in the world, especially the God who created everything?

However, what annoys me even more is that I met such a short old man that night: he was holding all kinds of colorful gift bags in his hand, and almost his whole body was covered; He wore a dress that would only be worn on solemn occasions, showing a real rich man, as if rushing back to that beautiful mansion for a reunion festival. To tell the truth, I am envious and jealous. I really want to throw some snowballs at his hat.

Fortunately, I remembered in time that I am not a ten-year-old child. It is not only stupid but also bad for me to have such an idea. Hey, kid! The kind old man chose a gift for everyone he loved, and he was bent on making the pieces of the gift suitable for everyone's taste. So, isn't it just the opposite, which means he's cute? I regretted it for a while and almost wanted to volunteer to help him with his things. However, even though I am sad, I still want to keep my dignity. I compare myself to a wandering beast, or a poor man. Poverty makes me arrogant and silent.

The city where I live is not big. It happened four months later, on Easter morning, I met the old man again. This time, he bought a lot of cakes in a dessert shop with great interest. With the eyes of people who pay attention to eating and drinking, he chose unhurriedly. I was touched to see this expression on his face. I thought: it is clear that spring has come, and spring has also affected him? I imagine his family and how happy they will be in the future. Looking at him, I, a lonely man with bad karma, couldn't help laughing. He may have glanced at me through the window, and in a flash, his face changed, looking like a very unfortunate and desperate person. Later, I forgot the old man who bought the cake.

Another Christmas has come, still with snowflakes, bells, joy, pedestrians passing by in a hurry, the smell of white fog, and bags and boxes with colorful ribbons tied in their arms. What about me? I am only happy for them, not for myself, which proves that my heart has become gentle. I met the old man again, either by accident or because of a potential desire to get to the bottom of it. He is at the door of the gift shop, and his hand is still empty.

? Great! ? I think,? I might as well play a detective game and follow this guy all night. At least, I can learn how to be a kind and generous person. If one day I become the head of the family, I can know how to prepare for a successful Christmas. ?

That's it. I followed him. Today, I can't help but burst into tears when I recall how he repeatedly thought and carefully selected gifts! This is what he said:

? This is a gift I bought for a nine-year-old girl. You know, she is stronger than a boy.

He added:? Chocolate, for children, just eat a little more, right?

In his arms, large and small gift bags piled higher and higher. I clearly remember him having someone squeeze out a person's name with cream on the cake. He also closed his eyes and thought about how many guests he had and how many cakes he needed to buy. I imagined the banquet, but I am no longer jealous of him this year.

I followed the old man all the way to the San Ho Mansion in Vianai Street. The door closed before my eyes and the windows were brightly lit. I stood there for a long time? So far, I think it was on that Christmas Eve that I had the idea of getting married. Not only want to get married, but also want to get married and have children. In short, you want to taste the warmth of the festival and the fun of giving gifts.

It was a long time ago that I thought of the old man again. One day, I read such a headline in a boring tabloid: "Saint? The mystery of Vianai Street. So I transcribed this passage:

He has been dead for many days, but the body was found yesterday because the old man was alone. Mr. D lost his wife in his early years, and his children died one after another, and he did not communicate with his relatives and friends for many years. In his house, an amazing number of gifts, toys, food, bottled wine and unopened packages were found. The police once suspected that these things were of unknown origin, but after many investigations, it seems that they are just out of an unexplained hobby.

Selected Stories about Luck Part II: Being Cared by the Goddess of Luck 20 10 September 22, American photographer Jay? Finn took amazing photos of lightning hitting the Statue of Liberty, which became a classic in American photography, and he became famous in one fell swoop.

Many people say he is so lucky, but you know, he has been filming this for 40 years.

Finn, 58, has loved photography since he was a teenager. Once in class, the teacher introduced the Statue of Liberty in America. What is its official name? The Statue of Liberty that shines on the world? . The goddess wore a radiant crown, an ancient Roman robe and a torch with a length of 12 meters in her right hand. This torch shows that the light of freedom always expresses the lofty ideal of democracy and the yearning for freedom of the American people. Her strength is given by God.

Hearing this, Finn wants to take a picture of the Statue of Liberty. But many people have taken photos of the goddess. He thinks it will be an innovation if lightning can be photographed through the torch of the Statue of Liberty.

The teacher affirmed his creativity and asked him to have a try.

After that, as long as it rains, he will wear a raincoat and carry photographic equipment to find the best shooting angle and wait for the best lightning opportunity. Many photographers also want to take photos with such a good theme, but sometimes it rains but doesn't thunder; Either it thundered, but there was no lightning. So once, twice, five times, ten times, one year, two years, no photos of the goddess of electric shock were taken.

After dozens of searches, Finn found that the best photos must be taken in front of the Statue of Liberty. Lightning can't be in front, left or right of the Statue of Liberty, but it's really impossible to make the camera, Statue of Liberty and lightning line up at three o'clock!

Many film friends said through experiments that although this idea is good, it can't be filmed because the probability is too small.

Twenty years later, he is still unknown, because he has no time and energy to take other photos. Many of his friends who studied photography with him have taken good photos in other fields and won places in competitions. However, Finn's infatuation will not change.

Once it rained heavily, the earth shook, thunder was loud and lightning was dazzling, and a power plant was also hit by lightning. His family was afraid that he would be injured by lightning and advised him not to go out. Finn said that the more weather like this, the more hopeful it is. Just as he was taking pictures, a flash of lightning split off his head, almost splitting him in half, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

Since then, Finn has been more determined to take photos of lightning hitting the Statue of Liberty.

On September 22, 2065438+00, Finn, who usually pays attention to the weather forecast, was very excited to learn that there was a thunderstorm accompanied by lightning at night. He braved the storm and waited for nearly two hours in Batley Park City in Manhattan. At this time, the Statue of Liberty in the United States was struck by continuous lightning. Like a child, he danced with joy, changed more than 80 angles and postures, set up his camera and took more than 80 photos.

Finally, at 8: 45 pm, he waited for a rare moment: the lightning was long, bright and big. He pressed the shutter of the camera at the moment when lightning struck the Statue of Liberty.

In this way, this moment was frozen, and he finally photographed the shocking moment when the Statue of Liberty was struck by lightning. He was shocked to see the wonderful images presented in the photo. The next day, he sent the photos to major newspapers, and some people commented that this was? The light of God? Some people say that he is favored by the goddess of luck.

It's natural for Finn to know that he was taken care of by both the Goddess of Luck and the Statue of Liberty: he waited for 40 years for this, and finally caught the lightning in a million chances, didn't he? The light of God? !

Selected Stories of Luck Part III: Unfortunately, it is another kind of luck. In the fourth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (A.D. 1 10), the northwest Qiang people rebelled, and the general Deng Zhi planned to give up Liangzhou because of the difficulty in raising money and food. Everyone agreed. At this time, the doctor Xu Yu stood up and pointed out that this practice is tantamount to quenching thirst by drinking poison, and the future trouble is endless. As a result, the emperor followed his advice and Liangzhou was preserved. This incident made General Deng Zhi lose face. Just like Chao Ge (now Qixian County, Henan Province), a rebel named JiNing led thousands of people to revolt, and the state and county governments could not suppress it. He had a brainwave and wrote to recommend Seo Woo as the county magistrate of Chao Ge.

Let a helpless Confucian scholar put down the rebellion. Everyone with a discerning eye can see that this is obviously Deng Zhi's personal vendetta. To this end, many relatives and friends advised Seo Woo that if you can't do it, don't do it, just take a soft suit. Xu Yu smiled and said:? It is the duty of a courtier to be determined not to seek easy things and not to take refuge in things. What can be used to identify a sharp knife and axe without being entangled?

Say that finish, Yu Xu confidently to Chao Ge's office. The first thing he did was to meet his immediate boss, Hanoi satrap Ma Ling.

Ma Ling was also worried about him and said, You are a Confucian scholar, and you should be a court counselor. Why are you going to Chao Ge now?

Seo Woo replied? From the first day I took office, everyone's eyes were full of such questions. No one thinks I will make a difference, but I don't think so. Chao Ge is located at the junction of ancient Korea and Wei, backed by Taihang Mountain and facing the Yellow River. It's only a hundred miles away from Xingyang granary, but the rebels don't know how to open the granary, recruit people with food, and rob the weapons in the armory, occupying a strategic position in the elevation (now Xingyang area). This shows that they are not worth worrying about. Now that the rebels are gaining momentum, it is difficult to win by force, but all is fair in war. I don't want soldiers and I don't want money. Just please allow me to let go of my hands and feet and deal with it without any restrictions or obstacles. ?

Ma Ling partially agreed.

The next day, Seo Woo ordered people to put up notices in the streets to recruit warriors, and ordered officials at all levels to recommend themselves according to their own situation. Everyone looked intently, and they were all blindsided. The warriors recruited by Seo Woo are divided into three grades: the robbers are excellent; Fighting hurts people, stealing property, medium; A lazy cook, subordinate, etc. This is not recruiting warriors, it is recruiting bandits and hooligans!

Doubt belongs to doubt. Such people are not hard to find. In a few days, more than 100 people have been recruited. Seo Woo was so happy that he personally hosted a banquet for them. He raised his glass and said, I know you have done something wrong in the past, and now I will give you a chance to make a contribution. As long as you follow the instructions, all past crimes, big or small, will be written off. ? These people all cheered.

So, Seo Woo mixed them with the rebels, and then encouraged the rebels to rob villages and towns, and then delivered the news in advance. The government set an ambush in advance and killed hundreds of rebels in a few days.

Seo Woo also recruited some tailors from the poor, and when they were hired to make clothes for the rebels, they marked them with colored threads. As a result, these rebels are always caught by officials as soon as they appear in streets and villages. In this way, these guys were frightened and suspected that there was a God to protect the government, so they fled everywhere, afraid to make trouble on the land of Chao Ge again, and the rebellion for many years was put down.

Seo Woo made people sit up and take notice. Empress Deng exclaimed that he had a general's military strategy. She personally met him in the Guardian Hall, promoted him to be the magistrate of Wudu (now southeast Gansu), and gave him a generous reward.
