Suddenly, I became very rich
I was not born in a very rich family. I always felt very frustrated, as I tended to compare the material I had with the material a rich person had.
Yesterday, I read an essay which was named “what do you think of yourself?” In this essay, a student asked the speaker of a seminar who was a cerebral palsy patient and unable to speak. “You were born in this way. What do you think of yourselves? Do you ever anger about it?” Everyone presents was very worried. They were afraid that his harsh words might hurt this speaker.
What was really amazing was that she was smiling and wrote all these things on the blackboard with all her might.
“What do I think of myself?
1. I am very cute.
2. I have very long and beautiful legs.
3. My father and mother love me so much!
4. God loves me.
5. I can draw! I can write essays!
6. I have a very cute cat.
7. ETC
Conclusion: I only think of what I have, instead of thinking what I do not have. ”
After a few seconds of silence, the whole place was filled with great applause and touched tears. Everyone was touched.
Who was this speaker? She was actually Huangmeilian, who obtained her doctor in University of Southern California. She also had a lot of drawing exhibitions in Taiwan.
After reading this essay, I thought of my own situation. I suddenly found that I only saw what I did not have, instead of what I had.
At that moment, I have felt that I am very rich, as I have a lot of things. I can write essays. I can learn English. I can buy a lot of books. I can talk with kazuyo Katsuma. I can contribute to my parents. I have a friend who always teaches me how to write a blog. I also have a lot of friends who are always teaching me a lot of things. I can dream and imagine what I like. I really have so many things that the greatest accountant in the world is unable count out how much I have.
Happiness does not depend on how much you have. It depends on how you think of it. Enjoy what you have. Then, you will be very rich, even if it looks like you have nothing. You can be even richer than those very loaded people who are always very upset.
