Balance Life...

...I just read an article sent from a friend thru' email. The contain is.....*actual article in Mandarin....but don't worry, I will translate in English right after.

一個著名的寺院裡住著一位非常有道行的道長。
他每天都要在傍晚6 時去餵他的狗。
狗的名字很奇怪, 叫做 " 放下 " 。
每到日落時分, 靜修道長就為 " 放下 " 送飯了，嘴一邊呼喚著 : " 放下！放下！ "
小弟子覺得很奇怪，就問道長 :" 為什麼要給狗起這個奇怪的名字，
人家的狗都叫阿黃、來福什麼的，為什麼您的狗叫 ' 放下 ' ？
" 靜修道長不語，讓他們自己去悟。
小弟子就觀察老道長，終於發現：
每天當道長餵完狗後，就不再讀經書，到院中打打太極拳，散散步。
小弟子到道長面前，訴說了他們觀察的收穫，老道長微笑地點點頭說: " 你們終於明白了。
其實我在叫狗的時候，其實也是叫自己 ' 放下 ' ，讓自己放下許多事情。
因為人們不可能在一天內做完所有的事情，
你只要將一天中最很重要的事情做完就已足夠了。
在人們越來越習慣動輒高呼殘酷競爭時，其實學會 " 放下 " 的意義就越大。
正仿佛當你自覺遭遇滅頂挫折時，不妨手搭涼棚，
你一定會發現：天並不會塌下來。
這並不是不求上進，恰恰在於懂得放下的，才最終會贏 ； 而整日忙碌不休的人，收穫的往往只是焦慮和疲憊。

English:
There was a Sifu always went out to feed his dog in the evening. The dog have a uncommon name called 'Let-Go'. Every evening, the Sifu will bring the meal to his dog, and keep calling 'Let-Go! Let-Go!'
His student felt strange and asked Sifu why the dog named 'Let-Go'? The Sifu remained silent and just let his student to figure out by himself.
His student monitored the Sifu and finally detected a difference....when Sifu came back from feeding his dog, he will stop the routine activity - worship, alternatively he practiced TaiChi, wandering around....
The student informed his Sifu about his observation. Sifu said: "you finally understood what it means. When I call my dog 'Let-Go!', eventually I remind myself to 'Let-Go', to let-go many things. In fact, we cant finish all our daily work, but just to finish the most important works everyday should be good enough. When people keep complaining the tough situation & competitiveness, there is a meaningful to learn and master 'Let-Go'. For instance, when you face a failure but try to lean your hand against the rest house, you will see the sky wouldn't drop. I am not discourage you a laziness, but if you know when to 'Let-Go', at last you won; who is keep saying 'busy! busy!', what he get is anxiety and tiredness."
*sorry if my english translation is umm...um...

After read the article, I really need to re-consider how my life should go next....how to balance my work with my family. Life is short and uncertain, so do what you think it is right!
*You may not agree what I feel, but I just like to share with whoever having the same opinion. Happy reading!
