The love of the farmer - life's guiding words

Without a rich heart, wealth and prosperity are an ugly form of greed.

Having a rich heart means having a good heart, a good mind, wisdom, a balanced mind, and a noble disposition.

A person with a rich heart seeks material wealth and uses it well in life. He eats what he should eat. He saves what he should save. He invests more. He spends what he should spend. He gives what he should give. He gives what he should give. He is well-groomed and beautiful in accordance with his wealth. He is full of glory.

If you don't have a rich heart, you won't eat or drink the wealth you earn. You won't give what you should give, you won't give what you should give. You'll want more money than you have. You'll be greedy and want more than you can get. You'll be rich but you won't be able to live in peace. You won't be able to give. You won't be able to give, so you won't be able to be complete. You'll be greedy for wealth, possessions, and possessions, and you'll be ugly.

In the time of the Buddha, the wealthy Misriya Kosiya, despite having eighty crores of wealth, was stingy and did not give or give away, and he himself did not eat or drink.

One day, the rich man, returning from a meal at the king's, saw the villagers making a pot of rice cake and felt a strong desire to eat it. However, he was afraid that if he said he wanted to eat it and made it, his wife and family would eat it. So he kept quiet and kept quiet. However, the desire to eat could not be forgotten. It could not be hidden. He could only imagine the pot of rice cake and think about it in misery.

Seeing the rich man's behavior, the rich man's wife asked him about it and finally said that he wanted to eat the bread pot because he couldn't afford it, and that he was afraid that if he made too many, the cost would increase, so he had to keep it to himself.

The rich lady, who knew about the rich man, ordered the rich man to go up to the seven levels of the palace and guard the bread pots so that no one would be able to eat. The doors of the seven levels of the palace were closed so that no one could enter.

Even though they are eighty crores rich, they do not have a rich heart and are not allowed to eat and drink as freely and happily as the poor villagers. This is an ugly form of greed.

An old lady who used to live in the same neighborhood as me owned a large grocery store and was very wealthy. But she was very stingy. She never gave or fed anyone. She never donated. She was also very stingy with shoppers. She would take her nephews and nieces who were not selling in her store and would not trust them. She would not even trust her own mother, and she would not even trust her nephews and nieces. Her nephews and nieces would abandon her. She would not trust or trust her if she hired help. Finally, she died alone. She left behind a lot of gold and silver. She was called the "Mother of the Peacocks" in the neighborhood. The money she had was like using peacock feathers as money for children to play with. Her money was just worthless peacock feathers in her hands.

When she died, her house, shop, and gold and silver went to her nephews and nieces, whom she either wanted to provide for or refused to provide for.

Similarly, a doctor friend of mine told me about his aunt. His aunt had inherited wealth from her parents. Her husband was a district magistrate. She had accumulated a lot. Not gold, not silver, but diamonds, and she had accumulated a lot of diamonds.

He doesn't fix up his old house, he doesn't buy a car, he doesn't touch diamonds, he keeps them for a long time. Even when he's not healthy and needs money, he doesn't cut diamonds. He sacrifices his life.

When he died, many diamonds were found in the safe. His diamonds were of no use to him. They were just broken bottles.

When the diamonds were valued, they were worth hundreds of thousands of baht. But he could not live a happy and luxurious life. It is pitiful to think that his greed for diamonds had led him to become mentally unstable.

With a rich heart, wealth and prosperity are beautiful and full of blessings.

Without a rich heart, even if you have wealth, you will not experience well-being. There is no beauty. There is only ugly greed.

You must seek wealth and prosperity. If you are rich, you must have a rich heart that uses your wealth for good.

The result of boasting

To boast is to be admired. But to achieve it is to be despised.

There are many ways to boast. There is boasting with words. There is boasting with clothes. There is boasting with jewelry. There is boasting with accessories. There is boasting with style and tone. There are also many other ways to boast, depending on the occasion.

What should be said is not to boast. It is not to boast every time you talk about yourself. If you need to say something, you should say it. There is a saying that says, "If you have to say something, say it." There is also a saying that says, "If you don't show it, you don't know it, if you show it, you know it, if you know it, you fear it, and respect it."

Some people are very boastful. They boast everywhere. They love to boast. They talk about themselves, their own glory, as if they were "the best of friends."

If you don't want to see the clothes and accessories that you flaunt, you can just ignore them. If you don't want to hear the words that you flaunt, you can just listen.

I once lived in the same neighborhood with a very boastful person. When he came, the whole family was disappointed. They didn't want to hear his boasting. When he came,

He boasted. The village where his daughter works is far away, but it is not like Yangon. He boasted in detail that he values ​​teachers very much, that his daughter is the best in her studies and that they like her even more, that the house where his daughter lives is very nice, that the parents of the students take care of her without any problems, and that he does not have to buy rice, oil, or anything to cook with.

The daughter then brags that her son's job is more important than that of an officer, even though he is not an officer. Even if she brags, her son will probably get into trouble.

While traveling by bus to Taunggyi, all the passengers were disappointed by the boasting of an old lady on the bus. She could hear it all the way. She boasted to almost the entire bus that she had three cars at her house.

He said that he had come by bus instead of using his own car because it was a mountaineering trip. His eldest daughter was earning 30,000 baht a month at the company. His second son was planning to go to Japan. He said that he would earn 30,000 baht a month and would be able to send 10,000 baht a year. His second son was driving a taxi from home in his own car and earned about 20,000 baht a day. His youngest daughter had also graduated and was working in her uncle's office. Her uncle was the director general and would be working in any position he liked. He boasted that his brother was in the mountain where he was going. He was the township police chief and if he told her his name, everything would be settled.

The best way to make people hate you on your own behalf is to brag. The whole film is filled with disappointment and hatred for that woman. They look at her with contemptuous eyes. They brag to make themselves look good and then they are despised.

Some people boast about their clothes. It is said that a tutor changes into a beautiful and shiny blouse every time a class changes. A teacher is not an actor who has to change into different clothes and show off his or her beauty. A teacher is only proud of his or her good manners and kindness. Changing into different clothes is just showing off. It is an unnecessary and unnecessary extravagance. Students have reported that by doing so, they do not gain the respect of their students, and are even ridiculed and looked down upon.

Diamonds, gold, and jewels, if worn appropriately for the occasion, enhance a person's dignity. If you show off everything you have regardless of the occasion, it becomes a sign of pride. Wearing jewels for the sake of beauty is not frowned upon. If you do it with a sense of pride, people will know.

They also boast about their accessories. They boast about their expensive Zippo lighters when smoking cigarettes. Older women boast about their expensive handbags. Some people even take out their mobile phones when they are in a hurry. Using accessories according to their needs is not bragging. It is just showing off for the sake of showing off.

Some of them are proud with their posture. They are swaggering, their heads are raised, and their thumbs are raised. Their posture is like a golden ten-piece suit, and their facial expressions are also proud.

The tone and manner of a boastful person lacks seriousness. You should be careful of frivolity.

Everyone wants to brag to some extent. They brag. Just as others brag, others will see it if they brag, so will you.

The purpose of boasting is to be admired. The result is to be looked down upon.

Humbleness is because you don't want to be admired. However, people respect humble people. They admire them. May they be honored by not boasting.

“When I was young, I thought I knew everything. When I reached middle age, I realized there was still a lot I didn’t know. When I got older, I became more confident in admitting that I didn’t know anything.”

The great Greek philosopher Socrates said, "I know only one thing. And that is that I know nothing."

"'That's too much to say. That's too humble,' I thought to myself as a child. I felt guilty for the wise man.

It was only when we grew up that we realized that there was so much we didn't know, and so little we knew. Even the little we thought we knew was often questioned as to whether it was true or not, if we examined it carefully.

It's not even certain that adding two and two makes four. If one is negative, it becomes zero.

Even things that I once believed to be true and insisted on were now proven to be untrue.
