What is a rich life?

☆What is a rich life?


Most of us think of successful lives when it comes to prosperity. So what is a successful life? Well, if you have a successful life right now, you will think of a foreign car, a nice house, or money. But just think about it a little bit. Imagine the expressions on the faces of a rich man and an emotionally rich man. What is rich in real life? Would a life full of top-notch champagne and top-notch caviar be good enough to eat every day? Would he be satisfied when he died? Would it be a happy life if he had the best champagne and caviar without seeing a single beauty of the warm sunshine and leaves? I think happiness lies in the moment. There's an old poem like this in China.

I've been looking for spring all day, but I haven't seen it
He's wearing the sandals all the way to the far mountain clouds
When I came back tired, the plum scent in front of the window was full of smiles
Spring was already hanging from that branch

It is a story that spring depends on the branches of the plum tree in the house, even though the straw shoes were worn out in search of spring. Now, turn spring into happiness and read it. Everyone looks far away and finds happiness, and happiness is right here. Because life is the sum of moments.

Unfortunately, we often think of life as a race. When you are in elementary school, you say you have to go to a prestigious middle school, and you will be happy if you go to a prestigious middle school. Let's sacrifice until you go to a prestigious middle school. If you go to a prestigious middle school, you have to go to a foreign language high school. Let's sacrifice until you go to a foreign language high school. Then you will be happy. If you go to a foreign language high school, you have to go to a large company, you have to go to a large company, and if you go to a large company, you have to become a manager. As a result, you are 70 years old.

  The life of a race is devastating. Why should we live like this? That's why we should live like this. It would be great if we find happiness in every moment. Such happiness enriches life. But to live a rich life requires training. It's about how much you can appreciate the same thing. The difference between richness and poverty is divided according to the difference. In other words, you can think about the difference between feeling that the water is half full and feeling that the water is half full by looking at the water half full in a cup. So, isn't the abundance of life the breadth of appreciation after all?

Perhaps the scene that comes to mind when I die is not the moment when I receive the Hwangjo Geunjeong Medal from many people on the podium, but the happy moment when I was with my wife on the beach, which is so beautiful that I got goosebumps during my last trip to Hawaii. Because that scene enriched my life above all, and it will be remembered even more in the last minute of my life.
