Everybody Is Busy For Themselves

Our lives belong to us. How we spend our time is also for ourselves. Even if we do something for others, the purpose is also for us.
We have twenty-four hours and how to spend our hours depends on our liking. We may watch television, or we may chat with friends, whatever we like.
But, to spend time wrongly will bring us unhappiness. If we spend time drinking, smoking, and night life, we may enjoy of a moment, but bad consequences follow.
The following is an example. A man was successful in the beginning. But, in the last days he suffered, going the wrong direction.
His name was Lin Yutang, a world-famous writer in Chinese and English. He was invited by an American writer, Pearl S. Buck, to America and finally he stayed in America.
Lin Yutang, while in his school days, studied English and he wrote novels about China in English. He published the books, and became top selling.
He was rich as a writer, and afterwards he returned to China. He had interest in Chinese typewriters and invested all his money. But, finally he failed and went bankrupt. He was poor in his old days.
