Don't be your children's slave
Very profound.........(Translated from the original in Chinese)
Because you don't have many years to live, and you cant take
along things when you go, you don't have to be too thrifty...
Spend the money that should be spent, enjoy what should be
enjoyed, donate what you are able to donate, but don't leave all to
your children or grandchildren, for you don't want them to become
parasites.
Don't worry about what will happen after you are gone, because when
you return to dust, you will feel nothing about praises or criticisms.
Don't worry too much about your children, for children will have their
own destiny and find their own way. Don't be your children's slave
Don't expect too much from your children. Caring children, though
caring, would be too busy with their jobs and commitments to render
any help.
Uncaring children may fight over your assets even when you are still
alive, and wish for your early demise so they can inherit your properties.
Your children take for granted that they are rightful heirs to your wealth;
but you have no claims to their money.
60-year old like you, don't trade in your health for wealth anymore;.....Because your money may not be able to buy your health...
When to stop making money, and how much is enough (hundred thousands,
million, ten million)?
Out of thousand hectares of good farm land, you can only consume
three quarts (of rice) daily; out of a thousand of mansions, you only
need eight square meters of space to rest at night.
So as long as you have enough food and enough money to spend, that is
good enough. So you should live happily.
Every family has its own
problems. Just do not compare with others for fame and social status
and see whose children are doing better, etc. but challenge others for
happiness, health and longevity.....
Don't worry about things that you can't change because it doesn't
help and it may spoil your health.
You have to create your own well-being and find your own happiness;
As long as you are in good mood, think about happy things, do happy
things daily and have fun in doing, then you will pass your time
happily every day.
One day passes, you will lose one day One day passes with happiness, and then you gain one day.
In good spirit, sickness will cure;
in happy spirit, sickness will cure fast; in good and happy spirit; sickness will never come.
With good mood, suitable amount of exercise, always in the sun,
variety of foods, reasonable amount of vitamin and mineral intake,
hopefully you will live another 20 or 30 years of healthy life.
Above all learn to cherish the goodness around ..and FRIENDS. They all make you feel young and "wanted"...without them you are surely to feel lost!!
Wishing you all the best.
