Before the end of the month, he used to get rid of bad luck by eating dog meat, but since his daughter got a pet, he has stopped eating this dish that many people considered a "national delicacy". He said that he worked hard, but as soon as he stopped sweating, he ran out of money, not to mention many business deals that seemed to be close to completion but then slipped through his fingers. His fate was always in a state of lacking money. He understood the saying of a famous person on the internet: "Money is not everything, but without money, you have nothing."
In fact, as the old saying goes, “If you look up, no one is as good as you, if you look down, no one is as good as you.” He has a happy family, his wife is an accountant for a company, earning enough money to support herself and her daughter, and he gives most of his salary to his wife every month to help her, keeping a little for pocket money. He looks at many friends of the same age and wishes that if he could be like A or B, with a rich wife who can support the whole family, how happy he would be.
You listen to him complain a lot and just stay silent. One beautiful day, the sun is beautiful, the wind is cool, listening to him complain for a long time, you ask again: So what is your concept of happiness? An American neurologist, specializing in human brain research, said that in the 3 levels of happiness, satisfaction is level 1. But people rarely feel satisfied with what they have, but always want more. Someone told me to be satisfied with my current life, many people will criticize me for being complacent, losing the effort to strive. As a human being, everyone has greed, but greed is not bad after all. Greed gives people the motivation to rise up, but rising up to do what? Like Mr. A at the company, extremely intelligent, always calculating, finding the best solution to handle work as quickly as possible to have free time to go out everywhere, but the more he goes, the more bored he feels.
Or Ms. B, as soon as she joined the company, declared that she hated stability, because to her stability meant marking time. She was at the forefront of every initiative and improvement, never afraid of making mistakes, daring to do and dare to take responsibility, but she was still not satisfied with herself.
Are you sure that with more money you will be happy? Or if you have one, you want two, three… if you have this house you want to change to another more comfortable house, if you have this car you want to change to another more luxurious car. You keep falling into a vicious circle and cannot escape. So be satisfied with the present and you will be happy.
He smiled: You always speak well. On a beautiful morning, I get to hear your kind words and drink a free cup of coffee that you invited me to. That's happiness, isn't it?
