50% correct theory in life, compiled by Zhang Baotong 2018.9.4

We always have a lot of expectations in life, and we are not very sure whether this expectation will come true. However, it will be at least 50% sure and probable. Most of the time in life is ordinary and calm, but there are often some unforeseen things happening. Half of these events can be joyful events that make us feel more joyful and happy than usual. At the same time, during the other half of the time, something bad can happen that upsets and frustrates us. Life swings like a pendulum. It takes time and experience to understand the normality of life, and it is in this way that we can cultivate our attitude of life in the face of the future without being shocked by honor and disgrace.

There are always two heavens of joy and sorrow in the world. From a pessimistic point of view, we will all die sooner or later. And, I've dealt with the deaths of parents, best friends, beloved bosses, and cherished pets. Some of the changes can be described as sudden and imminent, while others are slow and painful. These are painful and sad things, and they are the saddest things for us.

But there are also many things that make us happy and happy: falling in love with a loved one, getting married, having children and being a father,

Coaching my son's baseball team, I paddled and frolicked by the creek while he swam with his dog. I found his compassion so deep that it was even reflected in his kindness to the snails. His imagination was so rich that he made a spaceship out of a pile of blocks.

But there is a huge middle ground between the best and the worst of life, in which all sorts of good and bad things roll up and down like acrobatics. This is the reason why I believe that both good and bad things in life are 50% probable. One spring, I planted corn too early in a low-lying field that was prone to flooding, and my neighbors laughed at me for it. Because in the summer, when the floods come, these low-lying areas become a swamped country. I am deeply annoyed that I have foolishly wasted my energy and possessions. Then the hardest heat of my life came, a heat wave hit people, and there was no rain in the sky. As a result, the air conditioner broke down, the well dried up, the marriage broke up, the job was lost, and the money was gone. I live with the lyrics of a country tune that I don't like. Only the recent Kansas Royal Baseball Team can lift my spirits. Looking back on that terrible summer, it quickly dawned on me that all the good things that came after me only canceled out the bad things. Worse than normal things don't last long. When life is facing the end of the mountain, the willows and flowers are close at hand. This is the way to the sky. I am grateful and enjoy a time of peace and tranquility. It gives me new energy to deal with unexpected dangers and ensure that I am brilliant again.

The 50% correct theory has even helped me look beyond the recent downturn of the royal family and see hope for the future. Because of the drought and lack of rain in the summer of this year, the corn planted in the low-lying fields was not flooded, but also grew well, and the virgin land that had experienced hardships will usher in a joyful harvest in the near October. Oh yes, it's the corn harvest. So that winter my granary was full of strong, full, three-eared ears of corn, while my neighbors reaped only tanned husks.

Although the old way of farming for food may be lower than the 50% harvest expectation, and this may continue to happen in the future, I still stick to growing corn during the dry season to make ends meet.
