I have to share with you something that happened to me last week,

It’s really worth talking about,

Sharing it is because I hope you can get some energy from this experience.

Last Friday, I made plans to play ball with a friend. After we parked the car at the HUST sports ground, not long after, this guy directly crashed into my friend’s car.

In general, at this point our normal reaction is anger and irritation. The anger is because the other party was so careless, and the irritation is because they caused us trouble.

My friend’s reaction was beyond my expectations!

He looked extremely happy. When the other party came over to apologize, seeing a few burly guys on our side, they clearly panicked,

My old friend happily walked over, and kept reassuring the other person—telling them it was a small matter and there was no need to take it to heart. The process should be followed: take photos, connect the insurance. Getting hit is essentially unavoidable. Everyone has moments when they’re careless. For everyone to be fine is the greatest blessing.

That guy on the other side probably had never seen anyone who was hit by a car and could still be so happy and so carefree. After being stunned for a while, he also got infected by my friend’s emotions. They took the photos with laughter and smiles. Everything was sorted in three minutes.

I asked my friend, why were you so happy after being hit by a car!

He said he’s been this happy every time he gets hit. The last time was a year ago on the highway—suddenly a truck rear-ended him, and the reason was the truck driver’s fatigue driving.

He said the reason he was happy after being hit is simple: first, the person who hit him was fine—nothing serious. It’s like he blocked a disaster. So when that disaster passes, it becomes an accumulation of good fortune.

Second, if your car gets hit and you feel irritated, sad, upset, angry, and troubled—what’s the use? There’s no effect. Many people were originally fine, but because of a minor scrape and then an argument with someone else, bigger accidents happen more often. So as long as you’re fine, insurance can solve it too. Why get angry? Celebrate happily that you blocked a disaster again. Then comfort the friend who hit you, and happily go do the things you were supposed to do.

After I heard it, I was amazed by the logic. What he did was actually a very high-level thing: be responsible for the facts, but not generate unnecessary emotions from them.

Take the photos if you need to; handle the insurance through insurance if you need to; take responsibility—take responsibility.

As for the rest, it just ends here. This action is actually very powerful. Originally, he was the “victim” in this incident, but because his capacity/heart is large enough, in the end he became the one who stabilized everyone’s emotions. When you meet someone like this, will you not be impressed by his magnanimity?

Only then did I realize: the guy whose car got hit brought over a whole bunch of sports drinks to us. He told my friend that we definitely had to be treated to some water, and that we’d caused trouble for us,

You think this is the end of it?

Everyone was happily drinking water and chatting together. We found out that this guy is a surgery professor at Tongji Hospital, and that my friend’s father is going to Tongji next week for neurosurgery. Hearing that, the older guy said he had to help get it arranged no matter what.

Then last night my friend told me that his old father, at the fastest speed, saw the professor getting admitted into the hospital ward.

The real event is also the one that shocked me more in the past few months than Bitcoin suddenly surging 30%. Note that I’m not telling a story about how good people are rewarded with good fortune,

Originally, these two people were just strangers forced into a connection by an accident. According to the most common script: one gets angry, the other apologizes. The best outcome is taking the photos, exchanging phone numbers, and never intersecting again in this lifetime.

But because one of the people didn’t choose anger; instead, they chose understanding and goodwill. While it shocked us, it obviously also shocked the person who caused the collision. They had never seen someone so magnanimous and with such a great personality. In my view, the sense of admiration and the remarkable feeling in their heart was obvious. So he thought he should buy us some drinks. So he chatted with us a bit more. So he learned what each of us does. And thus, a connection that simply couldn’t have been discovered in the first place appeared.

Maybe this is the more concrete understanding I have about so-called “good fortune” in this matter. Good fortune isn’t necessarily some kind of mysticism. A lot of the time, it’s simply what you leave for the world after repeatedly choosing kindness, tolerance, and restraint—leaving more possibilities for your good intentions to connect with others.

You never know which time will lead to results; even most of the time there won’t be results. But wherever this person has been, they keep leaving behind good relationships, good emotions, and good connections. Over time, their life naturally becomes different from someone else’s.

I think my friend made a concrete form out of: being kind to others + inner peace!

So you see, a person’s greatest feng shui isn’t about where they live, who they know, or how much money they have. It may be their emotions, their heart/mindset, and the way they face the world.

When the matter comes, deal with the matter. As for those parts that can’t be changed anymore, don’t blame them, don’t be stuck on them, and don’t keep punishing yourself. Then go happily play the game you were supposed to play.

Many times, life is changed just a little bit at a time.
