 An old carpenter was about to retire. He told his boss that he would leave the construction industry and go home to enjoy family happiness with his wife and children. The boss was reluctant to leave his good worker and asked him if he could help build another house. The old carpenter said yes. But everyone later saw that his mind was no longer at work. He used soft materials and did rough work. When the house was built, the boss handed him the key to the door.

"This is your house," he said, "I'm giving you a gift." He was dumbfounded with shock and shamelessly. If he knew he was building a house for himself, how could he be like this? Now he has to live in a shoddy house!

We are not like this. We carelessly "build" our own lives, instead of acting positively, but coping passively, unwilling to strive for perfection in everything, and cannot do our best at critical moments. When we were shocked to realize our situation, we were already trapped in the "house" we built. Think of you as the carpenter. Think about your house. Every day you knock in a nail, add a board, or erect a wall, and build it with your wisdom! Your life is the only creation of your life and cannot be smoothed out and rebuilt. Even if there is only one day to live, you must live that day beautifully and noblely. The nameplate on the wall says: "Life is created by yourself."
