Today is monday. and its been one month since i last went to aunty dawn's house. Missed her... She has been teaching me chinese since Primary 3!!!!! imagine that!!! went to her house and after teaching we went lunch together.
I dinnoe she paying for me so i ordered quite a number of things and went i gave the cashier $5 he return to me and said:" She help you pay already." Wah! so paiseh larhx... so next tym i make sure i pay for her^^ hahas....
At her house we did a topic about unhappy singaporeans. And we "chatted" about being contented. She told me a story somewhat. It's about a rich man who lives in a BIG mansion and a beggar who sleeps on the streets at night and beg for food in the day. one night the beggar slept outside the mansion's door on the fine lawn. In the morning when the rich man open the door, he saw the beggar and took pity on the beggar and gave him some food. As soon as the beggar recieved the food, he thanked the richman and said, Your flowers in the garden has such a nice and pleasing fragrance. As the beggar left the mansion grounds, the richman thought to himself. "All these years, why didn't i notice the flowers in my garden. all i think and do everyday is how to improve my business." whereas the beggar with little food was so contented and happy that he smiled the whole day and greeted everyone with a cheerful face.
This is an example of being contented. Would want to be like the beggar or the richman? Being Content is a great challenge in one's life. As humans, its our nature to keep wanting more. You give a man $200 because he wanted to improve his business, he would come back and ask you for $400 more. You can nvr satisfy humans, for they would always want more. i think that we shld do something about it. instead of saying i want i want i want, we shld change it to i'll skip it, its ok, nevermind.
We shld be contented with wad we have. Be glad that you have parents. Be glad that you have arms and legs. Be glad that you have frens. Be glad that you can go to school.
if you think you do not have anyone of these, turn to God and trust in him and all these will be given onto you. It's also written in the bible!! "Seek first the kingdom of God and his RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all these things will be given unto you" Matthew 6:33
So be contented with what you have! and not fill yourself with jealousy and envy towards others. make life much more happier by being contented. Learn to be contented today! before i go, always rmb, God Loves You! Goodnites^^
