Chapter 34 create happiness for others

Some people may say, what age is it, and I still enjoy helping others, so why should I help others.There is no reason to help others, and it is very simple. Sometimes helping is just a gesture, a word, a smile... These are no loss for you, and it is just a little effort for you.But what rewards you may be far more than what you paid, at least others are full of gratitude.When you help others, you also prove that your existence is worth more than what you see, so you will feel satisfied and happy. Because when you help others, others will be grateful to you. Maybe when you help others, you don’t want to get any corresponding returns from him. However, this kind of selfless help can often bring you other benefits. At the same time, while your help brings happiness to others, you will also feel unprecedented satisfaction, isn't it?This is why those who know how to help others and know how to share with others live happily.

On the contrary, those narrow-minded selfish people only have greed and demand in their hearts. They don't understand the beauty of sharing. They only think about fighting for their own interests every day, which exhausts themselves and makes others hostile and defensive towards them.How can one be happy in such a state? On a rainy night, sociologist Victor accidentally fell into the swamp.There was no one around, and Victor was so anxious that his body had sunk into his neck.If you can't leave here, you will inevitably be swallowed by the swamp.He desperately called for help. At this time, a young man on a horse happened to pass by. Without saying a word, he pulled Victor out with a rope and took him to a small town.When Victor took out the money to thank the stranger, the young man shook his head and said, "This is not what I want in return, as long as you give me a promise: When you see someone in trouble, do your best to help him. "

In the days that followed, Victor helped many people, and told everyone he helped what the young man on horseback asked of him.Many years later, Victor was washed up on a small island by the sea due to a shipwreck, and a man helped him.When he wanted to thank the man, the man actually said what Victor had said many times: "I don't want anything in return, just give me a promise..." Victor's heart suddenly surged. There was a warm current. In life, we must not only learn to be grateful, but also learn to not ask for anything in return after helping others.Your small effort may bring much more than that to others, maybe a little love from you will make others no longer cry alone, make our life more warm because of your mutual love, and let your love pass on Become a habit, so that our living environment will have more warmth and less disharmony.

Helping others is not a responsibility but a joy.Because it can make you healthier and happier.Because when you reach out to others, you can experience the happiness of loving and being loved by others. The most prominent American atheist in the twentieth century——Theodore De Lait, he regarded all religions as myths.Life is just a story told by a fool, it doesn't make any sense, but he follows a truth that Jesus said, that is to help others.De Lait said: "If everyone wants to enjoy happiness in the long life, he must think not only of himself, but of others." There is a scholar who has not left his bed for many years, but many media speak highly of him as the most selfless person.

Many people who are bedridden all year round can't even resolve their own troubles. How can he become a selfless person?The answer is that he has always followed the belief of "serving others" and strives to practice it. He tried his best to collect the mailing addresses of paralyzed patients all over the country. He wrote letters to each of them, encouraged them, cared for them, and inspired them to fight against the disease bravely.He organized these patients and asked everyone to write letters of encouragement to each other. The scholar sends 1400 letters in bed every year, bringing joy and laughter to thousands of patients.

The biggest difference between this scholar and other patients who are paralyzed in bed is that he deeply understands that true happiness is obtained by helping others.George Bernard Shaw said: "A self-centered person complains all day long that others can't make him happy." Only by being helpful and bringing laughter to others can you be truly happy. Helen Keller said: "Anyone who, out of her kind heart, says a useful word, sends out a pleasant smile, or smooths the rough road for others, such a person will feel happy when he and his own so intimate a part that he pursued this joy all his life."

There is a very famous person in my community. Her name is "Apple". Everyone says that if you have any problems, you can go to Apple. She knows best.Apple, whose real name is Vesna, is only 21 years old, but has been working in New York for 4 years.Asked where Apple is working now, she pointed to the red vest with the volunteer logo on her body and replied: Volunteer Union.Apple is the only "full-time volunteer" of the South Mountain Volunteer Federation in the United States. This "migrant girl" quit her original job in order to be a volunteer. It was purely accidental that Apple became a volunteer. At that time, she just came to New York and accompanied a friend to sign up at the Volunteer Federation. At that time, she didn't think much about it. She just signed up for fun, but she didn't expect that this time the signup would affect her life.

When Apple walked into Uncle Howard's house for the first time, the middle-aged man in his 50s sat at the door and stared blankly at the sky.Uncle Howard was a quadriplegic due to polio since he was a child, and only a 70-year-old mother took care of him at home.Because the old mother is not in good health, Uncle Howard has not left the village for a long time.He was very happy to see Apple and clamored to go out to play.Apple went to the Volunteer Union to borrow a wheelchair and pushed Uncle Howard out.Along the way, Uncle Howard was very excited, but Apple was struggling: you can imagine how heavy a fat man weighing more than 90 kilograms is.As we walked, Apple noticed that Uncle Howard suddenly stopped talking. Looking down, the man in his 50s burst into tears.Uncle Howard said he was so happy.

Apple did not expect that it would be so easy to bring happiness to others, and she was more actively involved in various public welfare activities of the Volunteer Federation. As more and more people are helped, Apple finds that time is getting less and less.In fact, during the few years of working in New York, Apple's work has gradually improved, and it can be said that it has improved to a higher level every year.But when the Nanshan Volunteer Federation needed to recruit a full-time volunteer last year, Apple resolutely resigned from the job. Full-time volunteers earn just $900 a month, a fraction of Apple's previous wages.Many friends don't understand Apple, saying she is stupid, and her parents don't understand her. Her family is not rich and needs her support.Apple's dedication moved everyone, and many friends around her were brought into the volunteer team by her.

When someone asked her: "Why do you become a volunteer." Apple replied: "I think helping others is a very happy thing. It not only makes people happy, but also finds their own value." Volunteering for many years and helping others has become a kind of happiness and a habit for her.” It is not difficult for a person to help others, but if helping others is regarded as a job, a career is indeed more difficult.That Apple can do this shows how big-hearted she is.While helping others, she also gained more happiness and greater happiness. Helping others is easy and difficult to ask for. Why not feel the joy of helping others while solving their pain?Extend your helping hand!It's actually very simple, you will get more friends, more happiness and joy.
