Free thoughts I learned from an unexpected person.

Sometimes, it’s just funny and at the same time very humbling to learn unexpectedly great lessons from people you see as less serious.

I was reading blogs from fellow Triondites outside my room where there is good wi-fi signal. I was in the mood to concentrate on what I was doing so I focused on the screen of my laptop. Lots of people, some were with familiar faces and some were total strangers, were passing by a busy me. On my left side, there were a group of people watching a TV program. It seemed like someone from the TV with a less serious tone of voice was talking of awkward good advices.

He said, “Don’t blame God for making you poor today. I tell you, I was even poorer than you before, though I was just a bit more neat than you. It is actually good to be poor today because when you get rich in the future, it would be much sweeter. You would savor and treasure all the fruits of your labor.”

And I just felt like sharing this to my friends…
