Default Re: Blessing in disguise

MW,

This is a complement. Sometimes we think that people or events or things are not good, but they turn out to be a "blessing in disguise," and we are very happy. For example, if a boy were caught cheating in school, everyone would think it was a bad thing. But if the boy learned from that and never cheated again in his life, it would be a "blessing in disguise."
