In 2004, American shooter Matter Emmons lost a gold medal but he got a wife. It was a blessing in disguise. Four years later, he lost the medal with a pity again. Is there another blessing in disguise? No. Hmm, Yes. He understands the true love of his wife. His wife comforted him with a passionate kiss. He was a lucky man who has such a lovable wife. My question is: do you believe there is a blessing in disguise? I am not lucky. ‘A blessing in disguise’ has never happened to me! Has ‘a blessing in disguise’ occurred to you?

I believe in 'blessing in disguise'. Sometimes a higher power doesn't give me what I think will meet my needs but gives something that meets my need completely. I am learning to be patient.

It is worthwhile for him to lose a gold in Athens. He got a wife who is more valuable than a gold medal.

Yes, I do. However, it can be pretty tricky to see if the person is all about gloom and doom. It's hard to see the good if all you're looking for is the bad.

Over the years, I have learned that sometimes the more I force something, the more the things screw up. But once I let things take its course, everything falls into place. Pretty neat, isn't it?

Emmons probably is that kind of guy fits into a Chinese saying:爱(ài)江(jiāng)山(shān)更(gèng)爱(ài)美(měi)人(rén) Love beauty more than the rivers and moutains(rivers and mountains represents the territory of a country). The saying means an emperor can give up the empire because of a girl he loves. LOL!

I thought it was the most touching scene during the Olympics. A loving wife comforted her husband with a sweet kiss. That's true love. I guess that countless guys are dreaming to marry a wife like Emmons' wife.
