Life comes and goes, and the future is not long. Time passes like water, and the years are silent and old. Every day is busy, every day, there are different wonderful. The first thing you need to do is to look back and see that you are already old and young.

The first time I was young, I did not understand the hard work of my parents, growing up and relying on them all the way. As the saying goes, only when you raise a child do you know your parents' kindness, after becoming a parent, how you work, how difficult it is, only after you have experienced it, do you know the hardships. In this world, there is never anything empathetic, only personal experience, to understand its taste.

Life is a reincarnation, when young, who does not work hard for their children, to be children have been rich, no longer need to protect the time, they are already the sunset twilight. And those who had children will also become new parents, as their parents who, diligent, for their children's labor and burden, until the children grow up again, they will also grow old.

Everyone has to grow old at some point. When our parents were young, they taught us patiently and took good care of us. When our parents are in their twilight years, will we be able to treat them the same way they treated us, without being suspicious, careful, and attentive?

Life, always eats the bitterness of life, only to know how sweet happiness is; too many detours, only to understand how they want to live. The measure of happiness is not how much you get, but how much you have at the moment, and, to know how to cherish.

In this world, parents are the only people who give their best without asking for anything in return, and they are also the ones who are least willing to give us trouble. It is said that parents have an expiration date children are not. It is the greatest gift from God that children want to raise their parents while they are still waiting. While your parents are still young, while they are still alive, spend more time with them. Don't spend all day in the circle of friends to say what parents are in, life still has a place to come, parents go, and life is only the way back. Take more practical actions to do and achieve.

Don't always say you don't have time, it's not us who don't have time, but the parents who are getting older day by day. Their inner loneliness, the desire for their children, and in the depths of those years, the face of the late panic, is what we need to seize the time to comfort.

The generation of the elderly was far less well off than we are now, but no matter what, they still nurtured us to grow up healthy and strong. And now, they are gradually getting older, do not think that anyway also old, everything will give them to make up. It is because of old age, the future is not long, so it is more important to do what you can to create a good quality of life for them.

Less time to play with the phone, buy your parents a decent piece of clothing; less time to party, more time to talk with your parents. What they want to eat, buy them something, do not spare, do not be afraid to spend money, as long as the elderly health, do not get sick, just their point of food, drink, and clothing, and how much money can be spent. When you have time, arrange a trip for your parents to go where they want to go, to see the scenery they want to see, to fulfill their unfulfilled wishes, to satisfy the thirst they have always wanted.

Don't think that just because our parents still have a healthy body and free time, they should still do something for us. The elderly have been working hard for most of their lives, and have been looking forward to how long it will take to get to the point where their children have grown up and their work has been accomplished. They also need a little time to live for themselves, they also need to enjoy the glory of their lives, regardless of success or failure, they will raise us to adulthood, which is the greatest achievement.

Many things, are not painful when you have, do not care, lost only after you know to cherish, regret too much. When the white hair is replaced by green hair, when wrinkles are carved on the cheeks, only then suddenly realized that the original parents have already aged. Fortunately, it has been discovered that everything is still in time.

Don't count on who your parents have favored, what they have done wrong, and how much they have paid. The matter of filial piety does not require any conditions or reasons, just be yourself. To be good to the elderly is to be good to tomorrow's self. Many years later you will find that treating the elderly well is not only a kind of repayment but also the fulfillment of your own heart.

The perfect life is not to be applauded by others, but to live your own wonderful life. Not to achieve much, but to leave no regrets. For the rest of your life, please live well, and treat the elderly well, you will have no regrets in this life.
