Is Happy Life Really So Short

One day, a traveler came to a place. Not far away, a path winds on, hidden in the green woods. Follow the road to walk, came to a fence. Wooden doors wide opened. He followed the paved trail to move on. Blocks out the sun and shading woods, strewn with white stones. Travelers bent to a closer look, the stones were engraved with handwriting: Abdul Tower Iger, live 8 years, 6 months and 3 days. When he realized it was a tombstone, his heart could not help but shocked, and so small a child died. He turned to another piece of stone, inscribed: Tony lived for five years, eight months and three weeks. Look around, it seemed that tombstone, it was a cemetery. He went on to read a few tombstones were the same form: a name, a life time. The longest was only 11 years. Their life was too short, travelers began to cry sadly.

Hearing the cries, an old man came over. He was responsible for guarding the graveyard. The traveler asked: “Did there have disaster? Why all the dead were children? Or are there any terrible spell?”

The old man smiled and said: “Do not be afraid of what disaster had happened, and there is no terrible spell. We have an ancient custom here: When a person grows to the age of 15, parents will give him a book from, whenever the face of a happy thing, he would open the book, write it down on the left to write on what is happy, the right to write this happiness lasted long. For example, he met his fiancée, into love and how long the joy of their acquaintance lasted, is one week or three weeks; the first time he kissed her; his wife pregnant, first child was born; him to go traveling in a foreign land; he met old acquaintances, how long are these bring him happiness, is a few hours or days? So little by little, in his book on a note of every pleasure he experienced when he died, according to our customs, open his book, plus his happy time together, calculate the sum, this time is engraved on his tombstone. In our opinion, this is the real life of a person time.”

The Reason That Make Yourself Strong

One day, I think I will become crueler and crueler with my own growth and experience, even become cold and ignored. I do not know how do those experienced people train, but definitely not the kind can be accomplished.

Sometimes, in order to protect my self-esteem, I occasionally become a tigress, like a volcano eruption, with sharp language and ferocious reason; even there are eyes of hatred!

When I was young, I was a child who could not speak. After yelled by some stinging students, I was often unable to answer. Because I could not fight back them, I could not find that kind of words with ease. When it was very late, I secretly cried. I was not smart like them, and I could not fight back others endlessly. Later, I secretly went to newsstand to set up “Speech and eloquence”, and then I read each period. I wanted to change myself that could be lobbied by others. So I was looking for ways to train my own eloquence. I must change! Here I do not publicize this magazine, but this practical experience and this book achieved a lot of words that I blurted out. And I was standing the place where I had been bullied to become today’s myself.

Until now, when I occasionally go through the local newsstand, I will search for the shadow of this book. If I see a good one, I will buy. Although I become more and more different with the past, at least I am not easily be bullied. So what the book gives me is not only the method, but also the ideas. In common and simple words, when you carefully ponder, it often contains a strong internal strength, if you understand it, you will earn the forces, if not, you will think of it as burden.

Well, I am a weak person now, but not everyone can bully me. I believe I will grow little by little, and absorb lessons, and then defend my own personality!

In addition, I will maintain the proper kind. I will help the people who need assistance, and I not cheat others, not killing. I still believe the Buddha and uphold the Buddha’s perception. However, I have to learn hard-hearted. This is the only cruel to protect myself.

The meaning of flowers

For many people, buying flowers can be just one way of saying ‘thank you’, ‘I’m sorry’ or even ‘I love you’. The sentiments meant with each bouquet or display of flowers bought can be heartfelt and genuine but there is actually a historical and authentic language of flowers.

Although the language of flowers was popularized in the nineteenth century the history of floral denotations is more ancient and widespread across many countries and continents.  During the Victorian period, sentimentality became popular and using flowers to show feelings and sentiments was widespread. Throughout this time, many people would understand the language of flowers and would recognize the significance of blooms which were received. Flowers can also be used to symbolize astrological signs and have been used in ancient methodology.

Although during more modern times, many flower meanings have been lost, there are still certain flowers that still evoke feelings and emotions. For instance, although it is generally well known that roses and rose buds mean romantic and amorous love and therefore are often sent to lovers or spouses especially during Valentine’s Day, other flowers also have a variety of meanings and values.

Carnations can also denote a term of affection and are often used as wedding button holes and church decorations. Lavender can also be used as a term of love and loyalty though not always romantic love.

Other flower meanings include violets that can often denote calmness and diffidence, daffodils to represent respectfulness and high esteem and white heather for protection and security.
