There was a poor man in old days. He was so afraid to face New Year because he could not afford to celebrate New Year. But, in spite of his poverty, he passed his new year in a quiet mood.
We are human and of course, have many problems to face, either small or big, in our everyday life. Some problem can be settled, but many still cannot be solved. We have to leave it as it is.
As long as we have life, problem is not problem basically. Western proverb said: “There is life, there is hope.” Therefore, the most important thing in our life is to keep our life in good health by which we can settle any problem which comes to our hands.
Poor man has a philosophy of his own that even he is poor, he can still pass New Year happily. Such philosophy can apply to our life which is under the pressure of many problems, but we should still face it bravely and pass our life peacefully as nothing has happened to us.
Some young people who started a lower job reached to a very high position in a big organization. This is because he worked silently and face problem bravely. He has received his reward finally. Therefore, we can understand to keep our body in good health condition as an absolutely necessary thing.
