I am very rich - contentment


There is a young man who always complains that his fortune is not good enough, he can’t make a fortune, and he never frowns. On this day, I came over with an old man who had to be white and asked: "Young people, why are you not happy?"

"I don't understand why I am always so poor."

"Poor? You are very rich!" the old man said sincerely.

“Where does this start?” the young man asked.

The old man asked: "If you get rid of one finger now, give you 1,000 yuan, can you do it?"

"No," the young man replied.

"If you get rid of one hand and give you 10,000 yuan, what can you do?"

"Don't do it."

"If you make your eyes fall, give you 100,000 yuan, can you do it?"

"Don't do it."

"If you let you become an 80-year-old man, give you 1 million, what can you do?"

"Don't do it."

"If you let yourself die, give you 10 million, what can you do?"

"Don't do it."

"That's right. You already have more than 10 million in wealth. Why do you still lament your poverty?" the old man asked with a smile.

The youth was speechless and suddenly understood everything.

If you can hold a person's hand, hug him, or just pat on his shoulders... you are indeed blessed—because what you do is already the same as God can do.
