Once upon a time, there was an elderly merchant who had three sons. "Which son should I leave my inheritance? "He thought,"It should be left to the wisest sons. But which is the smartest? "
He called his three sons to him. "Here's some money"He told them,"Each of you takes a silver coin and buys something that will fill this room. Whoever buys a house that fills this house will get my property.
It's a big room. "The eldest son said.
A silver coin can't buy much. "The second son said.
But the youngest son said nothing. He stood there thinking, and smiled. "Hey, brothers,"He said"Let's go to the market! "
The eldest son used his money to buy ears of wheat. But a silver coin bought only a few ears of wheat, and even if he tried to spread them out as much as he could, the ears of wheat would only cover a corner of the room. The second son bought sand with money, but a silver coin bought only a little sand, and even though he tried to spread the sand as much as he could, the sand only covered half of the ground.
What did you buy? "The eldest son asked the younger brother angrily"You didn't buy ears of wheat. "
yes, what did you buy? "The second son also asked angrily"You didn't buy sand. "
I bought this. "The younger brother said.
A candle! "His brothers cried out"What is a candle used for? "
Lo and behold"The younger brother said. He lit the candle, and the room was filled with light from side to side, from ceiling to floor!
Although you are the youngest, you are indeed the smartest of my sons. "The old man said.
This is the story of how the old man left all his possessions to his youngest son, who filled the room with light.

There is no trace of birds in the sky, but I have flown over, not every flower blooms, it is to harvest the fruitful fruit, as long as the beauty blooms in the process, it is a life without regrets.
The mind is the mirror of the world, and what kind of mind you have, what kind of life and world you will have.
Acceptance and tolerance are the best ways to make yourself strong, if you can't tolerate people, it's hard to have close friends, and if you can't tolerate, it's hard to be sincere.
Don't ignore the life that is passing, don't lose yourself in the rolling red dust, and learn to leave more beauty and warmth for every today, because there is only one life for everyone!
If a person can see both the feet and the front, then he must be paying attention to the details of life. Only such people can discover the beauty of life and succeed!
The valley that has put itself the lowest has a babbling stream, and the land that has put itself the lowest has become the deepest ocean in the world.
Many times, giving others a love, giving others a chance, often can bring themselves a return of love, bring yourself more opportunities, when wisdom and selfless love are combined, often born beautiful wisdom!
