Life in today's big city full of mobile phones, mobile computers and other advanced technologies is not only hectic but also very impersonal. We make money and then invest our time and effort into making more money. Does it end Usually not because we are never satisfied. How many times have we convinced ourselves that if only we had a little money, life would be so sweet? But after receiving a substantial raise, do we realize that it wasn't enough and that we need more? What should you do? I have read many books on life, such as Robin Sharma's Monk Says This and Monk Says That, and they all seem to say that money is not necessary. But is. Can you do without cash and lots of money? I know I can't. So I went to my neighborhood Rabbi and asked for advice to help me find my true path in life. The rabbi nodded and led me to the window. "What do you see?" he asked me. I immediately replied, "I see people walking to and fro, and a blind man begging for alms in the left corner." The Rabbi nodded and led me to a large mirror. "Now look and tell me what you see?" "See you," I replied. The Rabbi smiled. “You don't see anyone else now. Both the mirror and the window are created from the same raw material: glass, but because one of them is coated with a thin layer of silver, when you look at it, you only see your own reflection.” Rabbi put his arm on my shoulders. Compare yourself to the two pieces of glass. Without the silver lining, you saw other people and felt compassion for them. When you're covered in silver, you only see yourself. I looked at Rabbi and stared. "I do not understand." The Rabbi continued. "You only become someone if you have the courage to remove the silver lining from your eyes to see and love others again." He patted me on the back and sent me on. I thought about what he said, ‘and’ I came to the conclusion that he was right. Yes. We need money and should not try to lead an existence without money; it's unnecessary and will only cause us and our families a lot of heartache in the future. Instead, I suggest we follow the advice the rabbi gave me. When we approach life through a silver lining, the only thing we are able to see is ourselves. But throw off that cover ‘and’ you can see and feel everyone else. In life, we are allowed and should be able to look at both kinds of mirrors, but we should remember that the mirror only reflects us; the window is the gateway to compassion, health and true wealth. In other words, seek wealth by all means, but do not be discouraged by life, people, children, and the poor and needy. In life, we are allowed to and should be able to look at both kinds of mirrors, but we should remember that a mirror reflects only us; a window is the door to compassion, health and true wealth. In other words, seek wealth by all means, but don’t let it dissuade you from life, people, children and the poor and needy.
