Shut the door behind you.

After the British Prime Minister, George had a habit: he always closed the door behind him. Once, George was walking with friends in the courtyard. Every time they passed through a door, George would close it behind them. "Do you really have to close all these doors?" his friends asked, feeling very confused.

"Oh, there's no real need," George smiled and replied to his friend, "I've spent my whole life closing the doors behind me. You see, that's something that has to be done. When you close a door, you leave everything from the past behind, whether it's beautiful memories or mistakes that caused troubles. Then, you can start anew."

Each of us will pass through countless doors in our lifetime: the doors of career, love, success, failure, birth, and death. On the journey of life, if we can 'close the door' like George did, leaving our worries behind, it will greatly help us get out of difficult situations and achieve the value of our lives.

In the past, even 3G phones could be this versatile — here are six budget 3G phone recommendations. In the desert, there was a wise monkey living happily with constant longing. But one day, while on a university night outing, it saw a venomous snake on a small stone and immediately fainted. Knowing that there was a snake on the stone, every time it passed by, it couldn't resist turning over the stone to look. But each time it flipped the stone, it saw the snake, which scared it into fainting again. Even so, every time it passed, it still wanted to see what was under the stone...

Some people deal with their troubles or past failures just like the monkey dealing with the snake under the stone. They can't let go, affecting their emotions and moods, unable to remain cheerful and peaceful; sometimes even directly impacting their career success and the course of their lives at critical moments.

Actually, many troubles in life aren't worth overreacting to. Can life be without troubles? French writer Alexandre Dumas said, "Life is like a string of rosary beads made up of countless big troubles." We don't need to save today's troubles in the bank of time for future use. Instead, we should take them out and use them today. "Open the door behind you," and everything remains beautiful; the sun shines brightly tomorrow as well.
