  A few days ago, I went to the bank to find a friend, just met a cleaning aunt, is mopping the floor in the hall. My friend chatted with me and said, can you tell, she has millions of dollars in savings? My friend told me, this aunt old family relocation, took a lot of money. In the past, she was an authentic rural woman.

  

  No education, and can not read a few words, not to mention no official job, but she has to get up every day, to work in the field, to go home to wash clothes and cook.

  

  At that time, she was in the tedious daily routine in a row, the days are hard, but also a very full life.

  

  But since the demolition of the house, she had money and no work to do, so she suddenly lost her focus of life.

  

  Later, she went to the bank to deposit money and saw the job advertisement, so she has been doing it until now.

  

  Many people may think that having nothing to do is the happiest thing, but on the contrary, when you become an idle person, not only will your life not get better, but it will breed many problems. Persuasion of the people" once said: do not see the idle energy long, but see the labor of people's muscles and bones real.

  

  I know an acquaintance Liu, she once had a stable job, although the income is not high, but not a problem to support themselves.

  

  Later, after she got married, she simply quit her job and taught her children at home. At first, she had a very prosperous life, but it did not last long, a few years later, her husband suddenly wanted to divorce her.

  

  She was completely unprepared, and she was tangled with her husband for three years, and then divorced.

  

  We thought she must be sad about this hurdle. But then she decided to work at a bun store in the morning and a hot pot restaurant in the afternoon in order to divert her attention and become self-reliant, working from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm every day.

  

  A year later, she seemed like a completely different person, no longer like when she first divorced, net talk of sadness, and no longer crying and hanging, but a person also developed the ability and ability to support themselves.

  

  The actual fact is that you will be able to get a good deal of time to feel sorry for yourself, even if you have a heartbreaking experience.

  

  The actual fact is that the more people are free, the easier it is to rely on others and the easier it is to lose your sense of security. The first half of my life" has a line: people can't be too idle, they have to do something, not only to relieve the boredom, but also to help themselves in critical moments, so that they don't fall down without reliance, and can't walk.

  

  And something to do, life is full enough, no matter how much frustration, you can cut the real life pain feeling.

  

  In addition, there is something to do, it will give your life a full breath of air, will allow you to live more calmly and calmly.

  

  Once we thought that too idle is a very happy thing.

  

  Because of this, you no longer have to work, no longer have to work hard, can completely stay in the comfort zone, live in the clothes to reach out, food to open mouth of the beautiful day.

  

  In fact, too idle, there are really many invisible bad effects.

  

  In the work, the more you are idle, but the less valuable. Remember the "Border City" said: "The sun does not disappoint you, you do not disappoint the sun. I am most afraid of idle people in my life, a leisure will be the meaning of life all lost.

  

  And in life, many people become bored, uninteresting, senseless, are because too idle trouble. Because people's daily time and energy, if not used to do something meaningful, will be out of balance.

  

  I remember this story, Tao Kan, a Jin man, he was old enough to find something to do, so he went to move bricks.

  

  In the morning, he moved a hundred bricks from the lai to the outside of the lai, and in the evening, he moved a hundred bricks from the outside of the lai to the inside of the lai.

  

  In fact, he was moving bricks to give himself something to do, so as to avoid depression and boredom.

  

  And in relationships, once a person becomes idle, he loses the ability to support himself and becomes dependent on others. Even if your backing is strong, you can not stand on your own, and will eventually lose the dignity, freedom and choice to be a human being should have.

  

  A good life, can not be idle.
