Chapter 17: Gratitude

As the years went by, I increasingly understood gratitude. I thanked those who helped me when I was in difficulty, and thanked those who guided me when I was confused. Without them, I could not have reached where I am today. I also thanked those who had hurt me, because they made me stronger. Every setback made me grow, and every failure taught me a lesson.

Most importantly, I thanked life itself. Although there are pains and difficulties in life, every day is a gift from heaven. I hope to use my life to do meaningful things and repay everything this world has given me. I hope my children can also understand this and live according to this principle.
