Remark the MAIN IDEA of the history: An old man lived in the village. The whole village was tired
of him; he was always gloomy, he constantly complained and was
always in a bad mood. The longer he lived, the viler he became
and more poisonous were his words. People did their best to avoid
him because his misfortune was contagious. He created the
feeling of unhappiness in others.
But one day, when he turned eighty, an incredible thing
happened. Instantly everyone started hearing the rumor: "The old
man is happy today, he doesn't complain about anything, smiles,
and even his face is freshened up." The whole village gathered
around the man and asked him, "What happened to you?"
The old man replied, "Nothing special. Eighty years I've
been chasing happiness and it was useless. And then I decided to
live without happiness and just enjoy life. That's why I'm happy
now."
Moral of the story: Don't chase happiness. Enjoy your life.
