He was quite successful and owned many things,but he still felt unhappy most of the time. The reason was that he had to face endless problems and challenges every day. 大天帝祥肉学校 DAOING XIANGGE SCHOOL One day,a wise old man came to the village.He brought with him 100 camels.People all said that the old man was very clever and could solve almost any problem. James heard about this and went to visit the old man at once.He said to him,"I am really unhappy with my life.I always have worries about my business,troubles with my family,and problems with my health.Can you please tell me how to make all these bad things go away?" The old man smiled gently and answered,"I will give you the answer tomorrow morning.But first,could you help me do a small thing?"James agreed right away.

James listened carefully and nodded his head. The old man went on saying,"Problems in life are just like these camels.Some problems will be solved by themselves with time.Some problems can be solved if you put in your effort.And there are also some problems that cannot be solved even if you try your best. For those problems,just leave them to time.When the right time comes,these problems will come to an end on their own."
