Motivation

Heard a friend saying, the very first thing comes into his head is the motivation when anyone talked to him.
He would begin to assume many things in his head.

I don't know if it's a good thing to give assumption toward someone, because meditation taught us not to assume when issue has not arrived not.

He must be a smart person so that his brain could function very fast to assume during conversation. I can't do it.
When someone talks to me, all I could is to listen with concentration.
I will make sure the speaker finishes all his lines. It won't be so nice if I assume and conclude wrong thinking by just taking part of the lines.

Meditation taught us to accept, face, process, and put down, while we should not suppose or assume first.

For someone who is not smart like me, still I can't learn how to think and assume by first talking.

Find a way

On the way back home yesterday, bought a bunch of daisies, the seller was an old man with great smile. Take a photo of them, keep the memory of the beautiful smile.

Last week in the parking lot, found this bug, It moved up and down, with poor skill it was difficult for me to focus such a tiny one.

There are many focus in life that can't be seen clear. In meditation, it is said for those unarrived things, don't think in advance. and everything has two sides, the focus of many things and words of people said is not really what they appear to us. The real focus is not clear.

Not block other people's way to make fortune

The new colleague is very nice, polite and talkative, could chat from personal to movies, the atmosphere is always pleasant and not in solitude.

I recall a practice of meditation from a friend, she said, " Two restaurants out there, if to compare which one is better, we shall not have bad words for the less tasty one, not to block other people's way to make fortune."

I'm not a devoted follower of meditation, but I truly believe and respect this saying.
Everyone holds different opinion, what we think is good may not be good for others, and what we think is not good, may not really bad for others.

Easy to say, hard to be done, often I need prectice this.
