Lessons Learned from a Psychic

閱讀時間約 4 分鐘

Hello everyone,

Today, I want to share a story about fortune-telling. It all began with my friend, who encountered many troubles in her job and family. She wanted to know when her luck would turn around. So we decided to visit a psychic who was able to communicate with the god.

When we met the psychic, he turned to me directly and declared that I should get married immediately. It confused me because I didn't have a boyfriend and was not interested in getting one. The psychic's reason for me to get married was that he saw a big Chinese cake floating behind me when I entered his office.

During our conversation, he suggested that I should dress more attractive and try to seek help from men. He told me, "Don't do everything by yourself. You must let men do things for you." I found this idea unwelcome and offensive because I didn't want to discuss my relationships with a stranger.

And how about my friend? The psychic's words were even more disheartening. He compared her life to Sisyphus, a character from Greek mythology who was cursed to push a large rock up a hill every day, only to see it falling without success and repeat the process forever. The psychic told my friend, "No matter what you do, it will all be in vain." This made her very upset.

Through this experience, I learned some important lessons. Firstly, I realized the need to be careful with my words. Words have power and can significantly impact others. Secondly, I learned not to believe everything I hear. Independent thinking is crucial. Lastly, I recognized the importance of being alert during tough times and carefully considering others' advice, as it may not always be reliable.

主來的日子近了,我們基督徒要如何預備迎接主? 如何做主忠心有見識的僕人? 如何不被撇下? 求主幫助我們,像十個童女比喻中五個聰明的一樣,拿著燈,「又預備油在器皿裡」。 (太25:4)當新郎到了,才能和他一起進去坐席。

不要急著進場買股,等我指示開始實戰練習,再開始操作。 市場不會跑掉不用擔心。當然我對你並沒有任何強制力,但這是我認為對你最好的建議,你可以選擇聽或不聽。我們今天要談的是價格位階的意義,以及位階的決定方法,也就是「線的畫法」。
