The weather was so hot that the flower s in the temple went brown. “Oh my God, pour some water quickly!” The little monk yelled and carried a bucket of water. “Don’t worry, now the sun is big, so the flowers will die if the flowers suffer coldness and warmth at the same time. You should water them later.” The old monk said calmly. In the evening, the flowers withered like dried vegetables. “The flowers must have died, and couldn’t save them no matter what I do.” “Bitch, water them.” The old monk scolded him. Before long, the flowers stood up and became animate. “My God, how strong they are, for they strive not to die.” The little monk was astonished greatly. “You are talking nonsense. In fact, they tried to live well instead of striving not to die.” The old monk said meaningfully. “What is the difference between them?” The little monk lowered his head. “Of course, these two attitudes toward life are different. I ask you a question, I am over eighty years old, so do I strive not to die or live well?” When the evensong was over, the old monk stood in front of the little monk and asked him, “Have you understood it?” “No, I haven’t.” The little monk still lowered his head. The old monk said, “How foolish you are. People who are afraid of death all the day will strive not to die. On the contrary, people who look forward to the future will live well. Hence, we should cherish every day instead of being nervous. ” To be honest, I think the old monk’s words are significant. Yes, life is so short that we should try to make us happy instead of complaining day and night. Take my mother for example. Unlike me, she is an ambitious, aggressive and sentimental woman. Nearly everyday she was unhappy because of a lack of money. In fact, she has many clothes, a steady job, a new bicycle and three daughters, but she is eager to make her house larger and prays to Buddha for help. As to this, I try to enlighten her, but it is in vain. In my opinion, happiness exists in our hearts, and if we always hide it by ourselves, no one could save us. In short, as a comprehensive E-platform of stone industry, we analyze the B to B international purchasing flow carefully and set up network marketing solutions for stone trading enterprises involved freely stonebtb.
