Chinese word for "crisis"

Okay kiddo, so the Chinese word for "crisis" is made up of two other words put together. The first part means "danger" and the second part means "opportunity". So basically, when something bad or dangerous happens, there is also a chance for something good or helpful to come out of it. It's like if you were playing a game and you lost, but then you learned something that will help you win next time. So even though the word sounds scary, it reminds us that there can always be something good that comes out of a bad situation.
