In our lives, we need to have a good mindset. A positive mindset can fill our lives with hope and vitality, helping us forget our troubles. On the other hand, a negative mindset can easily lead us to difficulties and setbacks. In the context of team-building activities in Beijing, having the right mindset is crucial. For example, during the high-altitude projects at the outdoor training base, each project is quite challenging. If you tell yourself that you cannot complete the task before even trying, it will be very difficult for you to succeed. The coaches from Beijing's team-building companies often share stories to emphasize the importance of having the right mindset.
Life is about having the right mindset, and so is doing things. In fact, viewing the world also requires the right mindset. A good mindset generates positive thoughts, which in turn encourage optimism and upward striving towards better directions and development. This inevitably brings one closer to happiness. One rarely sees a person who constantly complains about their fate smiling joyfully. To put it another way, when you smile, the world looks different; when you don’t, the world remains the same. However, when you smile, your life becomes joyful; when you don’t, your life becomes bleak.
In the UK, there was an elderly couple who both turned 60 when the wife was diagnosed with cancer. Due to her advanced age and poor health, doctors advised against surgery, as the success rate was not high, and if unsuccessful, her life might end prematurely. Without surgery, she could live for two to three more years. The couple followed the doctor’s advice and returned home, waiting quietly for death.
As time passed, the wife’s health deteriorated. Suddenly, the husband stamped his foot and said to his wife: "Haven't you always wanted to travel around the world? Let's spend our remaining time fulfilling this dream!" The wife nodded in agreement. Thus, the elderly couple took all their savings, packed their travel bags, and began their journey around the world. Although they moved slowly, they left their footprints in many famous cities around the globe.
One day, they arrived in Zhangjiajie, China, where they were captivated by the primitive natural scenery. When registering at the hotel, the staff looked at them in surprise and exclaimed: "Oh, you two are still so healthy at 66!"
It was only then that the elderly couple realized how much time had passed since their diagnosis six years ago: their first Christmas was in France; the second in Italy; the third in Denmark, the land of fairy tales; the fourth in Egypt; the fifth in Malaysia, and in a few months, they would celebrate their sixth Christmas. They had already surpassed the doctor’s prognosis, living beyond the expected three years. The couple embraced and cried, deciding to spend their sixth Christmas in China, with no intention of returning home. Since they decided to travel, they let go of everything, preparing to let their ashes scatter wherever their life ended. Now, not only had their money not run out, but their health had improved significantly.
The story of this elderly couple was reported by multiple media outlets and websites, becoming a real-life example of overcoming cancer. In the face of incurable terminal illnesses, the best treatment is to let go of worries and relax. Thoughts guide one's mental state, and whatever thoughts one has will produce a corresponding mental state. If we fear illness, getting sick becomes an inevitable result of such thoughts. But if we face illness with a smile and accept it calmly, the joy brought by the spirit may actually reduce the destructive power of pain.
