I happened to learn the idiom “a blessing in disguise” yesterday.
I would translate it into Chinese as “塞翁失马,焉知非福”.
I think it is an example of looking at the bright side if something not good happens.
Would u please give an example?
Wouldn't reveal itself for lots of years.
James Hervey (26 February 1714 – 25 December 1758)
Since all the downward tracts of time
God's watchful eye surveys,
O who so wise to choose our lot
Or to appoint our ways?
Good when He gives, supremely good,
Nor less when He denies;
Ev'n crosses from His sovereign hand
Are blessings in disguise.
Why should we doubt a Father's love,
So constant and so kind?
To His unerring, gracious will
Be every wish resigned.
