Chapter I.
I walk the streets,
There was a deep hole in the sidewalk,
I dropped it in.
I was lost ... I'm helpless.
It's not my fault,
It took a great effort to climb out.
Chapter II
I walked down the same street,
There was a deep hole in the sidewalk,
I pretended not to see it,
or fell in.
I can't believe I fell in the same place.
But it's not my fault,
It took me a long time to climb out.
Chapter III
I walked down the same street,
There was a deep hole in the sidewalk,
I saw it there,
But still fell in ... It's a habit.
My eyes are open,
I know where I am,
It's my fault.
I crawled out at once.
Fourth Chapter
I walked down the same street,
There was a deep hole in the sidewalk,
I've taken a detour.
Fifth Chapter
I walked up the other street.

The process of adapting to a new thing or a new environment.
1. Complete ignorance of the state, made the mistake. So fall into the hole. No experience, very helpless, so it takes a lot of time to get out of the hole and recover from the mistake.
2. In the premise of knowing that there is a hole, not willing to admit that if the delusion does not admit, this hole is equal to not exist. The result is still falling into the hole. It is foolish to find yourself deceiving yourself. Because of remorse, so spend a lot of time out of the hole.
3. Fall into a hole if you know there is a hole in it. Have self-knowledge, can admit their mistakes. Because you can correct it right away. It will soon be out in the hole.
4. Knowing that there is a hole in the premise, can admit its existence, has also found a way to avoid it. Will not fall into the hole again.
5. To go back to a new environment or touch something new. Re-repeat the 1 to 4 process.
In contact with new things or into new environments, you will experience 1 to 4 of the process. After 4, we have mastered this new thing or have been familiar with the new environment. Has grown up also has long the insight. So start challenging new things or exercising in a new environment.
Feeling is quite positive to experience the cycle of life.
