Last summer I was walking in a park. A short distance ahead of me was a mom and her 6 year old 
son. The little boy was holding on to a string that was attached to a helium balloon.
All of a sudden, a sharp gust of wind took the balloon from the little boy. I braced myself for some screaming and crying.
But, no! As the little boy turned to watch his balloon go skyward, he gleefully shouted out, “Wow!”
I didn’t realize it at that moment, but that little boy taught me something.
Later that day, I received a phone call from a person with news of an unexpected problem. I felt like responding with “Oh no, what should we do?” But remembering that little boy, I found myself saying, “Wow, that’s interesting! How can I help you?”
One thing’s for sure – life’s always going to keep us off balance with its unexpected problems. That’s a given.
What’s in our control, is our response. We can choose to be frustrated or fascinated.
No matter what the situation, a fascinated “Wow!” will always beat a frustrated “Oh, no.”
So the next time you experience one of life’s unexpected gusts, remember that little boy and make it a “Wow!” experience. The “Wow!” response always works .
Whatever is beyond our control should be left for almighty Allah
I wish if all of us could say ” Wow” like that innocent boy.
“WOW ” Great advise. it also reminds us of the story “Never Give up
Wow
SUppose your Mother dies and you receive a phone call. Please tell us how you’d handle it???
Wow….
I always treat death positively, something like, “Glad he or she is resting now”. Death is like an appointment with the Creator and the start of everlasting life. Reason why we should prepare for it so that we can have relief from this stressful world.
Dear all, I agree that Wao works, however not in every situation. Someone’s son died and you are saying Wao. No. There are situations where you have to act accordingly. Well Good luck
VERY VERY NICE ADVICE.
WE SHOULD FOLLOW…..
It is just an explanation for how to deal with challenges. The writer is trying to tell us that we all should just be optimistic and positive towards any kind of situation. If someone die, it is a tragic situation, but here we are dealing with a challenging situation. Both are different, so we should deal with them differently. However, if somone dies, we should be hopeful that the dead’s soul should rest in peace and all family members are able to withstand the loss. We should be grateful to the supreme energy for taking all the pains and sorrow of the dead.
And that little boy grew up to be Dr. Who
lol.
there are always two features in all aspects …..the one who takes them all easy may get enough energy to plan better than before
One should have an optimistic approach to tackle any adverse situation. It is rightly said that “Do not complain that rose bushes have thorns but rejoice that thorn bushes have roses”.
