First topic message reminder :

Umbrellas and Noodles

There
was once an old lady who cried all the time. Her elder daughter was
married to an umbrella merchant while the younger daughter was the wife
of a noodle vendor. On sunny days, she worried, "Oh no! The weather is
so nice and sunny. No one is going to buy any umbrellas. What will
happen if the shop has to be closed?" These worries made her sad. She
just could not help but cry. When it rained, she would cry for the
younger daughter. She thought, "Oh no! My younger daughter is married
to a noodle vendor. You cannot dry noodles without the sun. Now there
will be no noodles to sell. What should we do?" As a result, the old
lady lived in sorrow every day. Whether sunny or rainy, she grieved for
one of her daughters. Her neighbors could not console her and jokingly
called her
"the crying lady."

One
day, she met a monk. He was very curious as to why she was always
crying. She explained the problem to him. The monk smiled kindly and
said, "Madam! You need not worry. I will show you a way to happiness,
and you will need to grieve no more."

The crying lady was very
excited. She immediately asked the monk to show her what to do. The
master replied, "It is very simple. You just need to change your
perspective. On sunny days, do not think of your elder daughter not
being able to sell umbrellas but the younger daughter being able to dry
her noodles. With such good strong sunlight, she must be able to make
plenty of noodles and her business must be very good. When it rains,
think about the umbrella store of the elder daughter. With the rain,
everyone must be buying umbrellas. She will sell a lot of umbrellas and
her store will prosper."

The old lady saw the light. She
followed the monk’s instruction. After a while, she did not cry
anymore; instead, she was smiling every day. From that day on she was
known as
"the smiling lady."

Focusing on the positive is a happier way to live.
