写给自己的一封信

亲爱的裕子，

 或许你一辈子都不会做过什么惊天动地的大事，

也不是可以永载史册的伟大人物，  

但是， 若你能够一辈子兢兢业业地做好自己的事情， 

却是一种对自己生存形态的关注与升华。 

因为，

一个连自己职业都不热爱，

或者以这个职业来谋取虚名浮利的人，

那么，

成功对你来说是无从谈起的。

-Yuko- =)

Dealing with insult - by Lord Buddha

The Buddha explained how to handle insult and maintain compassion.

One day Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude 
 young man came up and began insulting him. "You have no right teaching others," he shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake."

Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man "Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?"

The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, "It would belong to me, because I bought the gift."

The Buddha smiled and said, "That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself."

"If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger and become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become unhappy. But when you love others, everyone is happy."

The young man listened closely to these wise words of the Buddha. "You are right, Enlightened One, "he said. "Please teach me the path of love. I wish to become your follower."

The Buddha answered kindly, "Of course. I teach anyone who truly wants to learn. Come with me."

If you are right then there is no need to get angry

And if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.

Have a great day! =)
