What is luck? What is misfortune?

In May 2006, I got a job in the World Trade Center in New York. On September 1 1, I arrived at my office building at about 8: 30 in the morning. I was about to go upstairs when I decided to buy a cup of coffee first. I went to my favorite coffee shop, even from the East Side, two blocks from my office. I heard a loud noise when I was waiting in line with other office workers. I can see what happened before others. The first plane crashed into my office building. We watched in disbelief as black smoke rose from the burning building. I feel lucky because I am still alive.

Nearly 10 years later, I woke up at the morning of February 20th1Sunday 10, and I realized that my alarm clock didn't go off. I jumped out of bed and walked to the airport. Before I arrived at the airport, my flight to New Zealand had taken off. This is my first holiday of the year. Now I missed the plane. What bad luck I'm alone and bored. Other planes are full, so I have to wait for the next day's flight. The next morning, I heard that there was an earthquake in New Zealand, just the day before I missed my plane. My bad luck accident turned into a good thing.

April Fool's Day is celebrated in different countries in the world. Every April, many people play all kinds of tricks and jokes on each other. One April Fool's Day, a British journalist announced that there would be no more spaghetti because Italian farmers stopped growing spaghetti. Many people ran to the local supermarket and bought as many spaghetti as possible. Until people realized that this was a scam, all the spaghetti spread all over the country had been sold out. Another famous cheating program. British TV programs reported the discovery of special water. They say that this kind of water can help people lose weight, and a customer has lost a lot of weight. On the last day of April alone, more than 65,438+00,000 people called the TV station to ask how to find this water.

Many April Fool's jokes may not have very interesting endings. A famous TV star once invited his girlfriend to participate in this program. Propose to her on April Fool's Day. This lady is very happy because she really wants to get married. However, when she said, okay. He replied, Happy April Fool's Day. This little joke has no happy ending. The TV star lost his girlfriend and his program was cancelled.

However, one of the most famous scams in the world happened in October instead of April. Actor orson welles announced on the radio that aliens from Mars had landed on the earth. He described the place where aliens landed and told people how aliens crossed the United States. What Wells said was so true that hundreds of people believed the news. Fear spread throughout the country. When the police announced that the story was a scam, thousands of people had left their homes.
