When I come across a good essay in reading newspapers, I am often feel like cutting and keeping it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the opposite side is as much interesting. Sometimes two things are to be coming at the same time, both deserving your attention. You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be given up. But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left behind. Thus you are caught in a fix and feel sad. How come that nice opportunities and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life changes dramatically on your preference of one alternative to the other.

In fact that is what life is like: we are often faced with the two opposite aspects of a thing which are both desirable like newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only after we are engaged in another. The former may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I still remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a passive choice may not be a bad one.

Whatever we do in our lifetime where life's storm makes us go there must be something we can achieve, some shore we can land on. Don’t forget God always keeps an alternative door open for every one. While the front door is closed, there must be another open for you.
