Atonement

For an ordinary person, building willpower might mean taking a cold shower in the snow during winter.

Don’t dismiss it. You may think you’re tough and can endure hardships others can’t, but try doing something that seems ordinary, like working the night shift sorting packages at a warehouse. You’ll find you can’t even last an hour!

Only when a real crisis strikes and your will to survive is strong can your body’s potential truly erupt!

At thirty, Chongyang stood beneath the setting sun at a crowded intersection, watching the traffic light about to turn red. He wondered how wonderful it would have been if he could go back ten years, to that World Cup, and not bet on the matches. Now his online purchases were overdue, his credit card payments were overdue, and his loans from loan sharks were overdue. The gangsters who’d lent him the money were coming to kill him!

An ordinary man would experience a life of real death!

What should Chongyang do?
