The small village suffered a natural disaster(灾难)about two years ago. Many people lost their material belongings and their houses. Soon after the disaster, families had to live under one roof in houses that were suitable for just- one family. Instead of feeling bottled in, the people felt more of sense of belonging when families had to live together in such conditions. They banded together to help each other in rebuilding their houses.

It was still beyond my understanding how family took priority (优先) over anything else. If someone is in need, the family will provide any support needed. In cities, it is said that “Houses are getting bigger, while homes are getting smaller”. In this small village, the home will always remain big. Children are taught from an early age that family is worth more than any material wealth that they will come across. They pass the value to their kids, and the cycle continues in keeping family values.

I still remember on the third day I arrived in the small village, two elders wanted to adopt me into their tribe(宗族). As part of that process, I was given a Spirit Totem, and was told that I officially belonged to their tribe. One of the elders explained, “No one is a stranger here. You come here, and you become part of us! Can you imagine if we had that outlook in every small village or on every street on earth?

Leaving this small village was challenging for me indeed. Not only did my outlook change, but my understanding of how life can be defined in different ways took a turn for the better

Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,259 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.

Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don’t pay over time. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work. These people think it’s their duty to wore more hours. Some are afraid of losing their job if they don’t work more hours. Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get from four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks.

As we all know, a healthy body is the most important wealth you have. Healthy people live a pleasant life and have more chances to succeed in their jobs. So everyone wants to lead a healthy life. And I suggest you do it step by step.

Get rid of your bad habits. For example, staying up too late in the evening is harmful to your health. What is even worse, some people prefer smoking and drinking a lot in their daily life. All these bad habits are poison to your health. You have to change yourself if you want to live healthily. This is the beginning of your journey towards a healthy life. However, it might be hard for you to make a successful start.

Make a plan and develop good habits. Once you have got rid of the bad habits, set a goal for yourself to form good living habits. For example, you can begin with doing some light exercises a few times a week or walking a mile after dinner. You can also join in other activities like playing ball games or going swimming regularly. Even if you can’t feel yourself getting stronger immediately, you’re developing habits that will help you on your journey towards getting fit.

Carry on your plan. The good habits you develop are very important to learning how to live a healthy lifestyle. So keep doing it with small steps. Cut one or two unhealthy things from your diet, or add some exercise to your daily training. The longer you do it, the better result you will get. Remember:

Rome was not built in just one day!
