A man who says everything is good(好好先生)
In the Han Dynasty of China, there was a
celebrity who was named (Sima Hui).
There is a story about him in history
books.
He never discusses or criticizes others.
He has another characteristic, whether he
hears a good thing or a bad thing, he will say it is good.
One day, a friend came to him.
Said his friend.
Are you safe and well these days?
He replied.
I'm very good.
Then he asked this friend.
Are you safe and well these days?
The friend replied.
I'm not good, my son died unexpectedly a
while ago.
He replied.
This is good.
His friend didn't know how to continue the
conversation so he left.
His wife said to him.
Your good friend's son is dead. You should
comfort him. Why do you say this is good?
He answered with a smile.
Living or dying, I personally think there
is no difference between the two.
Just as you blame me now, I also think your
opinion is very good.
His wife turned around and left.
Because of his characteristics, his friends
gave him a nickname.
A man who says everything is good.
The meaning of this idiom is rather
negative. Describes that a person has no opinion, and he agrees with everything
others say.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts did you have after hearing this story.
Do you think a bad thing can be a good
thing if you look at it from another angle? What standard do you use to measure
the right or wrong of a thing?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
好好先生(A man who says everything is good)
中國的漢王朝，有一個名士，他的名字叫做(司馬徽)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他從來不議論與批評他人。
他還有一個特點，不論他聽到一件好事或者是壞事，他都會說這很好。
舉一個例子。
有一天，有一個朋友來找他。
他朋友說。
你這陣子平安順心嗎。
他回答。
我很好。
然後他問這個朋友。
那你這陣子平安順心嗎。
這個朋友回答。
我不好，我的兒子前一陣子意外身亡了。
他回答。
這很好。
他的朋友不知道該如何繼續對話所以就離開了。
他的妻子就對他說。
你的好朋友的兒子死了，你應該安慰他，你為何說這很好。
他笑著回答。
活著或者死去，我個人認為兩者並沒有差別。
就如同妳現在責備我，我也認為妳的意見很好。
他的妻子掉頭就走。
因為他的這個特點，所以他的朋友們給他取了一個綽號。
一個甚麼事情都說很好的男人。
這一句成語的意思比較負面。形容一個人沒有主見，別人說甚麼他都贊同。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你認為一件壞事換一個角度去看，是否有可能是一件好事呢?你用甚麼標準去衡量一件事情的對錯與好壞呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
