you will receive what you give out

A kid ran into the mountains and unintentionally shouted to the valley: “ Hey…” as soon as the voice fell, echoes of “hey…” came from all directions. Seemed like mountains giving the response. The kid was surprised and confused, he shouted again: “who are you?” and the mountains also replied: “who are you ?” the kid kept shouting: “why didn’t you tell me?” and the mountains said same: “why didn’t you tell me?” the kid was getting angry and shouted: “ I hate you! ” then, the voice from the whole world was: “I hate you…I hate you…”

The kid ran back home crying and told his mom about that. Mom said to him: “ well, how about go back to the mountains and shout ‘ I love you’ to see what will happen .”

The kid ran to the mountains again and shouted “I love you” to the valley, this time the kid surrounded by “I love you…I love you…”

Why is it important to have cooperation

One day, in the dead of night, the lock woke up the key and complained: “I work hard every day to guard the house for our owner, but he likes you and carry you everywhere with him, I really envy you .”

But the key was dissatisfied, he said: you stay at home every day, how comfortable that is. Yes, I follow him every day everywhere, but I am expose to the big sun, heavy rain, I envy you more!

Another day, the key really wanted to experience a comfortable stay home life, so he hid, he didn’t go with the owner that day.

when the owner got home, he couldn’t find the key to open the lock, he checked over and over again from everywhere he thought the key could have been, and finally he lost his patience. He used a rock broke the lock and threw it to the garbage can.

When he got into the house, he found the key was staying at home, but he said: “ the lock is ruined, what’s the reason to keep you here.” he dumped it, too.

The key and the lock met In the garbage can, they sighed: “because we didn’t see each other’ s value and effort, we though each other’s position is better, we had mutual suspicion, so we ended up sadly today.

Sometimes in life, when we are suspicious and jealous of each other will hurt both sides, but when we trust and support each other when we cooperate and appreciate each other, both get a win.

The Difference Between Like And Love In a Relationship

Liking someone is more like enjoyment to make yourself happy. Loving someone is more like a responsibility to make the person you love happy.

Liking someone is when the relationship is getting hard you may give up and go find a new one. Loving someone is even when you know this relationship is going to be hard, you still try your best to fix it, for keeping them to stay with you.

Liking someone is conditional, if you can’t get anything in return you may give up. but loving someone is unconditional, you want to give your best or anything they love to them, even you know there is nothing that will be returned.

Liking someone is you enjoy the present with them. Loving someone is you enjoy the present and also plan the future with them.

You can like a few people at the same time, but you only love one at a time.

why less is more

According to the theory of Yin and Yang, when you lost something you also gain something, when you gain something you lost something too.

Once upon a time, there was a rich guy who had a large business and a lot of property. He worried about if his accountant had made mistakes, so even though he was old, he still kept checking the accounts by himself every night. Right next to the wall of his house, there was a poor family. The poor couple worked from dawn to dusk for making tofu for a living. Although life seemed tough to them, the poor couple talked a lot, they made jokes, they laughed and sang every day. Every night, when the poor couple was happy to go to bed, next door the rich man was still diligent for checking his accounts, no matter how exhausted he was.

One night, the rich guy’s wife said: “We are always busy at night for counting money, that’s so boring. Look at the neighbor, their life is tough, but they seem much happier than us.”The rich guy said: “they will stop laughing and singing tomorrow.” then he grabbed a gold ingot and walked out, then threw it to the poor couple’s yard. The poor couple was joking and giggling inside, suddenly they heard “bang”, something almost hit their door. They took the lantern and went out to check.

Under the lantern, there was A gold ingot on the ground, they almost stopped breathing, they were so confused, so nervous, so surprised…They picked it up quietly and went inside. They thought it draped from the sky, it’s got to be a gift from God, they can’t let other people know about it, so they hid it under the pillow, but they thought it wasn’t secure, then they hid it in the rice tank, still thought it wasn’t secure. They spent all night thinking and try where to hide it better, but nowhere seemed safe enough, of course, they did not make any tofu that night.

The second day, they started discussing their new future, they wanted to stop making tofu, buy a bigger property, but they were also worried if people noticed that they got money so fast, people may think it was stolen. If nothing will be changed in their life, then what is the reason for “god” giving this gold ingot . . . they were thinking a lot, they got so confused, they stopped joking, laughing and singing, they kept thinking and thinking over and over again, but, they couldn’t find any perfect solutions with the gold ingot.

The third day, the rich guy said to the wife: “see? no singing no joking and no laughing from the neighbor, right?”

When we have less stuff, the things we only have will be treasured and valuable. When we have more stuff we never feel enough, then we get confused about what we truly need.

quote’s background picture is from Unsplash

Feng Shui(Chinese:风水)as known as Chinese geomancy, it is a philosophy about the harmony and balance between human, nature,and universe.

The term Feng Shui translates as “wind-water” in English.Wind and water are basic natural elements, Wind means vitality and energy,water means flow and change. Feng shui is the power of nature and the energy of universe.It uses the laws of both Heaven(astronomy)and Earth (geography) to help people improve life by receiving positive Chi(energy)

People use Feng Shui to determine locations, design buildings, organize spaces, or get the best timing for certain important things in life, for example, get married, make a move, be buried. . .

Feng Shui is a truly complex system, but you can easily take it as it’s about space and airflow. It is for making our surrounding environment harmonized and balanced.

Here are 6 easy Feng Shui tips to make your life better 

1 Open your window more 

Fresh air is the basic element for human survival. When you open the window, you can get the smell of trees, flowers, even the deep earthy smell from the soil to make your day fresh and cheerful. By Feng Shui’s side, fresh air brings movement into your home, it makes Chi flow better. Especially after all-night sleep with the window closed, you want to get some fresh air in the morning. You should open the window after sunrise, according to the theory of Yin Yang, in the morning before sunrise is the Yin period, if you open the windows by that time, there is negative messy or evil energy that may get in.

2 Get plants 

Plants are living and spiritual things, they make great natural air purifiers and provide positive Chi into the room. For making the environment harmonized and balanced, you shouldn’t miss these positive vibes. Be aware not any plants release oxygen during the night, if you are not sure about your plants, put them away from your bedroom is security. If you want to put plants with sharp points indoor, put them on your desk is a better idea, because they do take care of the computer radiation for sure, but Feng Shui also believes that those spiked plants carry and attract the devil spirit.

3  Put electronics away from the bedroom 

Electronics have seemed to penetrate every aspect of our life. Feng Shui is an ancient traditional practice of using natural elements to get better positive Chi, it has no interest in such modern technology. The “addiction” to electronics makes you lose time of sleep and less time communicate with your family. The long-term radiation can be harmful to your health. The bedroom should be a fully harmonious and balanced place to relax and rest. Quality sleep at the night time can help protect our mental and physical health, its the main way to recharge our energy. Try to make an electronics-free bedroom.

4. Clean your clutter

There is a lot of stuff that you don’t like or stop using are creating blocks of negative energy(nothing like being rejected). When you often getting exhausted or feeling down without logical reasons, try to clean the clutters. It is not just cleaning up and reorganizing your space, it also can be a healing process for both your physical and mental. letting clutters go, in a way it means to give them the chance to be acceptable or valuable somewhere else, so it is not bad at all. Especially you get more space for positive Chi to flow. Of course, you also may fill some stuff that you need and like more to get you more enjoyable. So clean clutters is a win-win thing.

5 Upgrade your social circle

We all experienced “energy vampires” in our life. They are dramatic and negative, they are nitpickers and complainers. They suck all the positive energy from us and leaving us drained exhausted and unhappy. But we also have people who are grateful, humble, kind, and optimistic too, they always find the bright spots in life, their beautiful humanity is the best thing for creating and attracting positive Chi. When you keep company with them, you are already being one of the positive synergy and ready to bring positive Chi to others.

6 Do meditation

The things we have been through in life are not always pleasant, we are unconsciously holding negative thoughts and emotions,and they are the negative energy(negative Chi). Our body is a material container when it filled more by A, then it leaves less for B. Meditation is a easy way to clean the negative for our body and mind. It is free and it doesn’t require a special space. Do it daily or only when you feel you need will all work. Give yourself those moments cut off any kind of issues in this material life, there is only you and the universe between inhale and exhale, it is a fun and touching spiritual trip to discover how precious you truly are, and you will love yourself more and more. . .
