She was wearing a beautiful dress, eagerly taking a bustling photo in the golden sunlight, but where the black clouds came from, it crossed into a layer of water from head to toe. He was leisurely resting at a coastal coffee shop, waving his thighs to enjoy free animals, when his phone rang out: " got it done, get it done!". freedom suddenly became a luxury, he pulled his sandals back, driving like he was running away from himself.
That's life. Rarely does it ask us if we are ready before it crashes down. His father was in good health when he suddenly rolled out and had to be hospitalized. My mother, who had never cried before, suddenly complained of a back pain and could not sit up. The boss called at the right time, the deadline was pouring like rain, the child had a fever in the middle of the night and the motorbike failed to turn signal in front of the house.
In moments like that, not knowledge, skills, or degrees will save us. Instead, flexible in flexible environments is the motto of captain Ne mo in the novel Two thousand miles Under the Sea.
Flexible is an attitude of calmness in chaos, not being competitive when an incident occurs. That is when we can switch from the role of an employee to being a workshop member in just ten minutes of travel. That is the time when we try to control our emotions, take our mother to the clinic and sit online in the hospital hallway.
Living flexibly also helps us mature mentally. Because it is in the days when "everything falls on our heads", that we understand that our limits are not at what we think. We can still work with puppets, we can still laugh when our hearts are full of worries. And we learn to let go of things that are no longer important with a call from the hospital, let go of expectations of perfection to live well enough with all aspects of everyday life.
Flexbility is sometimes an acceptance that you will never be as stable as planned. No one can live a safe life forever. For life, in the end, it is not to control everything, but to adapt and move forward, even if the road is winding, even if it rains in the middle of the day when we need the sun, as a saying goes, " boats are not to anchor at ports, boats are to go out to sea to overcome the wind".
