There is a gentle breeze and the weeping willows are green. This is a very ordinary day in midsummer. It is no different from every lazy and peaceful day. The sun is as bright as gold, shining on the earth and on the body.
This is a two-story building in Foretown, the Principality of Zeon. A certain person is half-reclining on a corner of the sofa, covered with a thin blanket, his sleepy eyes seem to be open and closed, and the whole person looks very lazy.
This girl is an ordinary single woman. Because her income is not bad, she can live well in this world and have no worries about food and clothing.
Apart from working nine to five days a week, the girl does not have any special hobbies. She is the type that cannot be found in a crowd. But she has the fine virtue of a married woman who is "diligence and thrift in housekeeping".
Most of the time, I used too much force and picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelons.
There were obviously fresh vegetables at the vendors on the street corner, but in order to save a few silver coins, she went to the market area at the other end of the city. As a result, she came home with a pile of rotten vegetables.
She could go to a tailor shop to buy clothes, but she chose to have them made to order in order to save some money. As a result, the goods she got were not exactly right.
Although she could have asked her neighbors for help with some trivial matters, she decided to call her friends for help. In the end, she found that she could not help her at all, and that she had to pay for a meal in vain.
Because she is single, she orders most of her dinners from restaurants. But the delicious food are all "discounted products", and these "discounted products" are not included in the promotions.
Therefore, she would often order a lot of things that she didn't like to eat out of greed for petty advantages. This was just like her lifestyle, picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.
In fact, the same is true for many people. Some professionals purchase countless low-grade magic crystals at one time, but they still have a lot left after they advance.
Some magicians spend a lot of money to build basements in the hope that they will not be disturbed while practicing, but those who don't know it think that the end is coming.
There are also people who keep a large amount of supplies in their homes all year round. After using it for several years, they still have a lot left over, and even use it until it becomes moldy and spoiled. If you ask the reason, the answer will always be one sentence: If you don't take advantage of it, who is an idiot?
Bar!
It's just that there is nothing wrong with being diligent and frugal, but many times we use too much force. In fact, if we think about it calmly, it is more wasteful. I believe many people have had this experience. When shopping, we actually don't like a certain piece of clothing that much, but what can we do?
The temptation of the discount was too great, so I bought it after much hesitation. But it has been lying quietly on the bottom of the closet all its life, and has never seen the sun again...
In fact, there are many examples of people like this girl or others who like to take advantage of small things, but in the end lose the big. But in some important things, if we have no experience, it is safer to do it honestly.
The butterfly effect tells us: if a nail is lost, a shoe may be damaged; a war horse may be scrapped and a knight may be lost; and a war may be lost and a country may be lost.
Losing money is a small matter if you are greedy for petty advantages, but it is a big deal if you lose the entire person's image. For example, in a supermarket, a woman with exquisite makeup and elegant clothes should give people a very high-quality first impression, and passers-by may also pass by.
I would look at her a few times. But the way she was standing in the tasting area devouring her food was really disgusting. Although she took advantage of it, she left a very tacky impression.
There is also a more hateful type of people. They may be our friends, relatives, or colleagues. Their frugal behavior is not limited to themselves. Whether they are traveling with relatives or friends, or with colleagues, they will always find various reasons for traveling.
To avoid bills, such as mobile phone battery, poor signal, no cash, urine escape, feces escape, etc.
As a result, everyone spent an average of dozens of gold coins during the trip. Only this kind of people spent nothing. They were like iron roosters and never plucked a dime. But the consequence of this was that everyone would become alienated from their relatives. From now on, no one would be willing to associate with them, so they had to
Being alone and alone.
Being greedy for petty gains can sometimes endanger your life. More than a hundred years have passed since the last Holy War, and health care has become a matter of concern to many people. And once people mention health care, they will associate it with certain green foods.
Therefore, many smart people will go to the countryside to pick wild vegetables on their rest days. The results of this can be imagined, either they will eat up and have diarrhea, or they will lie down in the grave directly after eating.
In fact, being greedy for petty gains is nothing more than wanting to save some money. After all, it is not easy for everyone to make money, not to mention that being greedy for petty gains is mostly a waste of money.
But there are thousands of ways to accumulate wealth, and being greedy for small gains is nothing more than an opportunistic trick. Many people think they save money by doing this, but they often end up paying a bigger price because of small gains.
In a certain opera, the death of their father reunites two brothers who have been separated for many years. However, after meeting, the two brothers find that each other's lives are unsatisfactory, and can even be said to be poor and on the verge of bankruptcy.
But the brothers accidentally learned that the house left by their late father was actually a masterpiece passed down by a famous architect. After that, the brothers auctioned off the house and started to make a comeback.
But the troublesome thing is that a clever mouse has long regarded this place as its home and stubbornly refused to move. A war between humans and mice began.
The brothers personally designed and made exquisite and powerful mousetraps, recruited strong and ferocious big cats, and even the most brilliant rodent exterminators.
But all this was of no use to the mouse. The mouse trap always caught themselves, the big cat had nothing to do, and the rodent exterminator also said goodbye and left. The two brothers and sisters were made miserable by the little mouse. The old house was already dilapidated.
It was also riddled with holes, and an inheritance worth tens of thousands of gold coins was wiped out because of a mouse...
Therefore, whether it is in an opera or in real life, many things suddenly become clear when we think about it in reverse. As long as we think with the concept of "don't take advantage of the bastard", why don't others take advantage of it?
?Are we the only smart people in the world? In fact, as long as we figure out these two problems, we generally won't be fooled.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Everyone is a fish in the rivers and lakes, and the lake is always full of bait. Under the same temptation, some people will pounce on it, while others choose not to be moved. Instead of complaining about the bait
It smells so good, why not reflect on why you took the bait.
No one is born calm and calm, but some people are always clear-headed and will not be greedy for petty gains. But some people always like to be greedy for petty gains, so they suffer big losses. If people are insufficient, they will eventually suffer disaster.
Only 1% of people in the world take advantage of small losses, but 99% of people take advantage of small things and suffer big losses.
As the sun set, a fat old woman slowly walked out of the city of Fletcher and moved towards the Principality of Cambay. As for the benefits she had previously promised to the Principality of Jean, it was nothing more than a joke, or the Principality of Jean was too wishful thinking.
, actually believe that kind of unrealistic promise.
The Mother of Ichor has no sense of guilt at all about this. On the contrary, she enjoys being toyed with by herself in the Principality of Zeon. What she is looking forward to now are the powerful creatures from the realm of nothingness, not the creatures of this dimensional space.
