In daily life, what we use, eat and wear depends on everyone's efforts. It is hard-won happiness, so we should cherish it. Even cheap toilet paper is no exception. After combing my hair every day, I used to wrap my hair in toilet paper, wipe my glasses after folding it, and finally dry the water drops on the washbasin. Every piece of sanitary paper must be sure that it has been "used to the best of its ability" before I am willing to throw it away. The same is true for wearing clothes. Even if a suit has been worn for 20 years, I will continue to wear it as long as it is not broken. Modern people like to "go shopping", and the things they buy are not commonly used and become garbage; "Save money, cherish happiness" is really consistent with the environmental protection concept needed today.
The formation of this habit stems from the mother's family education. My mother told me from an early age to cherish everything and not to waste it easily, including a grain of rice. As the saying goes, "every grain on the plate is hard to finish." After the rice in the rice bowl is finished, it is worthy of the hard-working farmers. On the other hand, many young people often fall into the bottomless pit of "excessive consumption". Shopping is often "want" more than "need". The degree of liking the new and hating the old often makes the older generation shake their heads and sigh. The reason is often that they don't know how to cherish happiness.
Besides cherishing material things, "cherishing happiness" has a higher meaning, including "cherishing interpersonal relationships". Many couples, colleagues, relatives and friends often blow their beards and stare at each other for a trivial matter, and even turn against each other. They all don't know how to cherish happiness and fate. As the saying goes, "Take a step back and broaden the horizon", as long as we have more tolerance and mutual understanding, misunderstanding and hatred will naturally disappear. In other words, parents should cherish the parent-child relationship, and brothers and sisters should cherish the brotherhood ... because these are the most precious things in the world, money can't buy them or change them.
When a person knows how to "cherish happiness", he will naturally know how to love things, be filial to parents and care for children ... More importantly, he will know how to cherish his moral reputation and life. Some people committed suicide because of some setbacks, but others became more and more brave and did not give in to difficulties. I often say that "life" is the greatest grace given by God, and nothing is worth cherishing more than life.
