I have known this lady for a few months now who delivers home cooked
food to many households in my area for a few yrs already. She is
married without kids and I heard the husband doesn't work at all. He
just laze around, go gambling and drinking everyday. On the other
hand, she has to wake up early in the morning like 4-5am to go to the
market to buy vegetable, make preparation for cooking and etc. She
also has to drive around entertaining her friends. It was more like
her friends always asking her to help out with their stuff or ferrying
them to places all over the neighborhood. She is very nice, kind,
friendly and above all easy going. She has tons and tons of things to
do, pressure of making ends meet, putting food on the table and etc. I
know she is actually renting a house costing RM700 per month near my
place. She is also attending line dancing classes just to keep herself
occupy at night, I know that she is a very generous person cause she
always gave us a huge amount of food though we only subscribe to a
person or 2 portion. My family and I are not too sure whether she is
actually making any money out of her business or not. Not sure whether
she knows how much she is getting and how much she is putting into it.
We are quite skeptical and the conclusion is she is very generous and
doesn't care much. We always see her very joyful and vibrant. Free
from any stress and worries in life.
However, I do feel that everybody has problem and difficulty in life.
Its how she put her face in front and portray everything as rosy and
beautiful. I have to respect her for that. We all need to learn from
champion and salute great people like her. She is a fighter. She just
doesn't give up though faces with adversity and rough patches. I have
to give my hats off to her.
Therefore, the conclusion is it doesn't really take much to be happy
actually. Contentment and being able to accept adversity at face value
is a good starting point. We have to be content with what we have and
happy to be alive to really enjoy the taste of living. No worldly
possession would be able to sustain your happiness throughout your
life. Live freely and live happily and you are on the way to heavan.
Have to remind myself on this periodically.
