One day a professor entered the classroom and told the students about a surprise test. After hearing that all students were seated and waited for the test to begin. Now, the professor gave the test papers to all students with text facing down at the desk. Once he was done with handing out the test to all students, he asked them to turn the test pages and begin.

一天一位教授走進教室，跟學生說要進行一次突擊測試。聽到這個消息，所有學生都坐好等待測試開始，然后教授把試卷發(fā)給所有學生，有字的一面朝下放。所有試卷都發(fā)完后，教授讓學生把試卷翻過來，開始測試。

Student’s were confused to see that there was not a question but just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor noticed the students’ face expression and told them, “I want you to write about what you see there.”

學生看到卷上沒有問題，在紙中央只有一個黑點，都很困惑。教授注意到了學生臉上的表情，說：“我想讓你們把看到的都寫下來。”

The students were still confused but got started with the test. At the end of the class, the professor took all answer sheets and started reading each answer from each sheet in front of all students. All of them described about the black dot and tried to explain its position etc.. After the professor finished reading the whole class was silent.

學生們依舊疑惑，但都開始了測試。快下課時教授把所有試卷都收上來，開始在全班面前讀每張試卷上的答案。所有學生都描述了那個黑點，并努力說明它的位置。教授讀完以后全班都沉默了。

Now, professor began to explain, “Don’t worry, I am not going to give you grades for this but I just want you to think about something. Here everyone focused on the black dot wrote about it but no one wrote about the white paper, the same is with our lives. The white paper represents our whole life and the black spot represents problems in our life.

現(xiàn)在教授開始解釋：“不用擔心，這個測試我不會給你們打分，我只是想讓你們思考一件事。這里的每個人關注的都是黑點，寫的都是這個黑點，卻沒人描述這張白紙，我們的生活也是如此。白紙代表我們的一生，黑點代表我們生活中的問題。

Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebrate –our friends around us, the job that provides us our livelihood, the miracles we see everyday.

我們的生命是上帝賜予我們的禮物，其中充滿愛和關心，我們總是有快樂的理由——身邊的朋友、為我們提供生計的工作，還有我們每天看到的不可思議的事。

Still we just focus on day to day problems like health issues, lack of money, problems in relationships etc. but we never see that these problems are very small compared to everything we have in our lives.”

我們仍然只是日復一日地關注著問題，比如健康問題、缺錢、人際關系的問題等，我們卻從未看到和我們生活中所擁有的一切相比，這些問題簡直微不足道。”

Moral Lesson: We should try to take eyes off our problems and Enjoy each one of our blessings, Each moment that life gives us. Be happy and Live Life Positively.

道理：我們應該努力把注意力從問題上移開，享受你所擁有的一切和生命里的每一刻。要幸福快樂，積極面對生活。
