A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner. The father was very old and weak. While the father was eating, he dropped food on his shirt and trousers, and also on the table, the chair and the floor. Other diners watched him in disgust (厌恶) while his son was so calm.

After the father finished eating, the son who was not at all embarrassed (窘迫,尴尬), quietly took him to the washroom, cleaned his clothes, smoothed his hair and fitted his glasses firmly. When they came out, the whole restaurant was watching them in dead silence, not able to understand how someone could embarrass themselves in public like that. Without saying anything or watching at anybody, the son walled directly to the counter (前台), settled the bill and started walking out with his father.

At that time, an old woman among the diners called out to the son and asked him, "Don't you think you have left something behind?"

The son replied, "No, madam, I haven't."

The old woman repeated, "Yes, you have! You left a lessons for every son and every father." The restaurant went silent.

In order to deal with the work and pressure that seem boring, we have to take an active part in beautiful acts of love and kindness. So get to it!

1. In order to solve the problem, we must face it bravely. This can include people in your life who may be bringing you down, the environment or even a person that makes you upset and worried. It’s up to you to handle them.

In order to live a meaningful life, you must love yourself. 2. Take care of your actions and how you live each day. Love yourself fully in order to love others fully.

3. It’s not easy to make a decision about what is worth your time and effort or what is not. If situations are seriously terrible and are not repaired, it’s time to let go. Are there broken relationships or friendships but you know they are worth the time? Fix them and find peace. Do what you can to find love in situations.

4. Give our time, energy, love, and sometimes money, please. It is “The True Meaning of Life”. Everything we put into the world comes back to us. At the end of the day, no matter what you have, you are likely in a position to give something small to someone else who needs it.

Things that make us smile, laugh and feel good are just amazing. This one is pretty simple…Just do MORE of it. 5. I truly believe that in the super fast paced world we live in, happiness may not come as easily as we wish.
