Children are the future and the world most valuable resources. It’s easier to build up your children as compared to adult, the future of mankind and nature is in your hand!
One of my colleague gave a very touching retirement speech, she mentioned that her first thing to do after retirement is go home and cook for her family.
It sound simple yet it’s hard to achieve for some of the working mother.
In order to earn a good living, we might neglect our family.
When your children need you, you are busy on working.
When they are independent, you want to care about them.
What a contradicting!
Contemplate about it.
I respect one of my friend’s decision for letting go her career and to take care of her family.
I met up with her after she settled down as house maker.
She mentioned to me that “This is the happiest moment in my life, I can be with my kids during their growing process. I am not going to miss this precious opportunities. I will never get the time back. Even though, our family is depend on a single salary. However, money can’t buy the happiness I am enjoying now. Nothing is more important to bring up my kids to be a good person. If I don’t let go my job now, I’ll regret later. I can alway look for another job when my kids are independent.”
A sacrifice from a mother!
While you are accumulating your wealth and your kids turned out to be a person with “No contribution to society”, moreover he/she is going bring harm to the nature and the world.
What’s the meaning of your wealth?
Balance up your life, Be moderate, do not wait until your retirement.
Be with your children, they need you to guide them to be a Good Person.
We need more good person in this world in order to live in peace and harmony and be sustainable with nature.
It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short-term and the long-term for both yourself and others will come
