    I don't fully think it will be a gift, everything is changeable, I can't predict his future is good or bad. In addition, the environment and situation are also changeable. If this thing can bring me practical benefits, it is certainly a gift to me. Therefore, I think anything can be turned into a gift, but it needs the test of time and environment

    I don't think so . Something that's unexpected, unwanted and uncertain itself would never become a gift for anybody. The experience, bravery and hopeless we learn or derive from the unfourtune things may be a gift. The cancer itself won't be a gcareift for any one. The concern and assistance from families and friends is a gift, the new understanding and trust in your body is a gift. But if we can have a choice, we would rather change a more comfortable way to acquire these characters than suffer the disease. But only when these match with pain could be called gift.

    In a way I disagree with this view,it seems to me that there are two sides to consider.On the one hand,Overall view of the  overall situation,if this kind of unexpected things are beneficial to our long-term development.I think I would accept it gladly and only in this condition that I will treat it as gift of life.On the other hand,if the unexpected,unwanted,uncertain things have caused serious damage to our mental and physical health,I think it's a hell of hone for us.Of course,some may regard this regional training as a gift from God,but it's undeniable that it has brought indelible influence to a person.And some people even suffer for it all their lives.Under such circumstances,I don't think it is a gift.Therefore,whether this unexpected,unwanted,uncertain thing is a gift depends on the nature of the events  and people's methods and measures to deal with this kind of accident.

    I don't think something that's unexpected,unwanted and uncertain may be a gift.As far as I'm concerned,a gift is only something that you like and that you enjoy.Something unexcepected,unwanted and uncertain can be a surprise,but it's also most likely a shock.When we receive such a "gift",many of us are bound to be annoyed by it and even break up the relationship.

    I do think so.The great meaning of life lies in its variety and unpredictability.If we could organize everything in our lives and live a routine life everyday,it must be boring.And the unpredictable future gives us more courage and faith to explore what lies ahead.The beauty of life is that it is all created by ourselves.

    I   think  I  would  probably  have   to  say  no.I  can see you point, but in my opinion, a  gift may be  surprising, but it must not be unwanted. If you dislike it, it can't be called a gift. A real gift can make us feel happy both physically and mentally.

    Hello everyone.To be honest,i don't think so.There is a saying on the Internet that trials are not expectations.I think those unexpected,unwanted and uncertain things are trials.And surely we feel difficult to avoid meet them,so we try to solve those problems and call the process a ''gift''.But we are still afraid of the unknown uncertain things,because we prefer to control our destiny in our own hands.That's my own opinion.thanks.

    Yes,i think that's absolutely right.Fristly ,gifts are never meant to be  something good but to surprise ,growth or change.Maybe it's even a disaster for her and bring about the huge pain .But she treat and describe it optimistically.On the other hand ,it is more like a special gift from god, which made her a stronger and more tenacious woman

    Well,as for me ,I think it depands on the variety situations we will face.If I had the encouragement of my family and the constant understanding of myself,I believe I will have the bravety to overcome different obstacles and even regard it as a gift.But if I was in a deep depression,maybe I will give up myself at all.All in all,I hope myself always have a positive and optimistic heart.

    I cant tell as people are different and the situations we are really in vary.For examples,if you are optimistic in this point and the people arround you are always by your side,then probably you have the courage and the faith to overcome the hardships and turn it into a gift finally.However,if you are hopeless at this point and your old friends leave you and no one believes you or supports you ,then probably the unwanted thing could damage you and you couldnt callit a gift anymore.

    I think I would probably have to say no.Actually,something that's unexpected,unwantedand unexpected is a gift whether or not.It depends on the situation.Such as a falling apple,if it drops on the wise,wisdoms may be created.But if it kick a weak man,it may be threaten his life.And Although someone get a gife,he too lazy to progress anything,the gift is without meaning.so,I can't approve her opinion.

    Life is full of uncertainty and can’t be manipulated.As an old saying goes:Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise.For example,if you suffered a failure in job interview and had to work in a department that you dislike,it is what you unwanted.But maybe you ultimately ignite enthusiasm for this job and find new potential.We couldn’t anticipate what future will be like,we just need to calmly face every “gift” we encounter,maybe fortune is playing hide and seek with you.

    I think the unexpected is a gift, we can't guess what will happen in the future, so the future is meaningful, unknown means infinite possibilities, means we have many, many opportunities to fight for. At the same time, life is often unknown, we should adapt to the unknown, and accept the unexpected things to bring us surprise.

    I think the proposition depends on different situations.Some unexpected experience might bring us a brand new and wonderful life.Such as entering a new school ,all the things are unknown,but you can encounter new friends and experience a new pried of life.As for those unwanted things,to the person with strong heart,they could learn from the annoying ecperience and do better next time. It's called jumping out of your comfort zone.Thus,I think we should treasure those unexpected,uncertain and unwanted things,treat them as a precious opportunity to grow up.

    I think there are too many unexpected things in life to call each one a gift. The unpredictable things may bring us surprise or sorror, while the things that can be called gifts are often beautiful. Some things are painful in the moment and another form of gift after surviving them. Some things may not come from our intention, but we will experience them anyway, and we will have to overcome them, and make a better version of ourselves after experiencing one thing after another.

    I dont agree with that at first,however, after watching the video i change my view.Something thats unexpected, unwanted and uncertain is not only concerning the pain,the pressure and the fear,but also aboout the other thing which we ignore a lot in the past. Never in my wild dream could I picture that the common thing would be intouchable. The speaker in the TED Talk said several opinions,such as you'll be challenged,inspired,motivated and humbled you will have a lifetime supply of good drugs’‘flowers will arrive by the truckload’‘you'll eat countless gourmet meals’‘you'll have an eight-week vacation of doing absolutely nothing’‘you'll have a healthier lifestyle’‘it will bring all of your family together’‘you'll feel loved and appreciated’‘adoration and admiration will overwhelm you’‘you will reconnect with friends and acquaintances’‘you haven't heard from in years’‘it will recalibrate what's most important in your life’‘it will redefine your sense of spirituality and faith and you'll have unsurpassed vitality and energy.

    In all,i think it’s all thanks to treasure what we have.

    From my point of view,I don't think the unexpected, unwanted and uncertain couldn't be a gift.Because I strongly believe that I am the master of my own destiny.Although life was full of ups and downs,when pacing down on the road of my own life,I felt serenity and nirvana.Every choice should be maken by myself and every difficulty should be faced on my own.The incredible success,the vitality,the thought and the experience are the necessities that I need to gain with my effort and talent. The unexpected, unwanted and uncertain would bring trouble to my ordinary life.

    From the bottom of my heart,maybe I didn't think it was a gift,Because gifts are always enjoyable and delicate.But now I definitely respond with“yes”And this huge alternation comes from my senior year.

    In the first test of the third year of senior high school.304, the ranking I never thought of.The instance I saw it, my heart was overwhelmed with sore and collapse.I only felt that years efforts have been wasted and the past glory no longer exists when people around me talking and laughing.I have been negative complained and hated.In order to live up to my parents ardent expectations and to live up to my poor study.I also encouraged, imaged and expected,I would always immerse myself in books and mathematical problems within five months,from the college entrance examinations.Finally, I didn't disappoint myself!Now I think back to those things that unwanted and unexpected finally became rich nourishment on my way forward.Accept the gift of fate and become the brave!

    For me , the answer to the question is absolutely yes ! Whether the unexpected thing is good or bad , both of them will create new experiences for me .  If the "gift" bring us with warm and sweet memory , we should treasure it , wearing a big smile to enjoy . It can help us realize the meaning of  life. If it bring us with painful and bitter memory, we should also treasure them ,because when overcoming dilemma ,we can become stronger and determined ."What doesn't kill you will make you strong."Friedrieh Nietzsche ,the philosopher said. All in all , "gift" is originally unexpected for sure , we should receive it with peace ,calmness and hope.

    In my opinion,I think something that's unexpected.unwanted and uncertain just is a gift.When I was young, I was injured because The nail on the wooden horse poked me when I was playing on the wooden horse . From then on, I was left with a noticeable scar on my forehead. I used to feel ashamed of the scar on my forehead and wore bangs to cover it up. But as I grew older, my scars faded and my mood changed a lot. Now I'm not afraid to lift my bangs to show my scars to others. This scar makes me face my inner vulnerability, learn to be brave and strong, and learn to be careful. I think this accidental scar is a gift for me

    Actually,I think it depends on the situation.If this person wants to be cared for but can't be cared for because of his busy life, then such an unexpected thing  just meets his needs, it is a gift for him, because he can be accompanied and cared for by his family, which is what he has always wanted. However, if a person doesn't need much care in his life, then this unexpected thing  is not a gift to him, but a hindrance to his life.

    Yes,I think.Each coin has two sides.When you encounter something you think is unexpected,unwanted and uncertain,you may feel frighten.But then, if you feel it carefully, you will also find that this seemingly bad thing also contains.We cannot completely define gifts, but we can define our attitude towards gift.

    I think this problem should be discussed in two ways. When something uncertain occurs in our lives, it may only be beneficial to our lives, it may be a gift, but also may destroy our originally peaceful life and become an encumbrance. Like car accidents, diseases. However, there is an old saying in China that “the loss of a horse is not a blessing”.

    In my opoinon,this may be right.For example, when I hear a beautiful song or see a beautiful sunset by chance, I will think it is a gift,which give me a wonderful experience.Of course, when encountering difficulties or setbacks, I will also feel that this is a gift.  Their existence must be meaningful. In fact, I often learn a lot from these gifts.

    I can see the point in her opinion and the optimistic spirit deserves recognition.However, I  can't agree with her.In my opinion, whether it was a gift or not depends on specific situation.In her perspect of view, the  reason why she considered the serious disease  a gift was she had recovered from it.Instead,we can't predict our illnesses in our real life and face it as optimistic as her.

    At my point of view, I can't agree more.Life is full of uncertainties and unexpected things we are always trying to avoid.However,it is exactly those uncertainties that pushes us out of our comfortable zones.Sometimes it's those difficulties that brings us together.And sometimes it is due to those uncertainties that we could be more braver --so brave that we can not even imagine before.All those good characteristics  are those seemingly bad things brings to us.

    It seems to me that there are two sides to consider.As a gift,it may be unexpected.It will not onlybring some feelings like surprise and happiness,but also a feeling which called absolutly despair.For example,the people from the article recieaved a gift called tumor,and on the one side,it give her a lot of pains which made her despair and deprived the her hope of life,on the other hand,it also took her a exhaustive new vision looking the diffierent world.So it could be deem as a gift

    To a certain extent,yes.Because I think "gift" is a concept with two sides.It doesn't always refer to those good things.A gift could also be something  that steel yourself,remold yourself.Though with pain,you'll gain a lot from this "gift".
