Though the sun is setting today, it will also rise tomorrow

Maybe today is over as the man rides alone into the sunset.
Maybe today was not a perfect day.
But don't give up, tomorrow is another day with new possibilities and opportunities.

No  matter what, The Sun Will Also Rise always......

 FAITH

Seek Happiness in Life - Live in a Tea Pot

It's a famous tale of Chinese folklore about a man who loved tea so much that he decided to live in a tea pot.

The deeper meaning is to do what you enjoy in life. If there is something that makes you happy, then make that thing the focus of your life. Life is too short to be stuck in some job or some thing that you don't likesful - but the more courageous person is the one who doesn't care so much about appearing successful in other people's eyes. This bold person is the one who takes time to enjoy life and good wine.

LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST

Don't tell your secrets to a parrot

This is the story of a man that wants to be left alone to read his books. He tells his parrot "If anyone comes, tell them that I am not here".

Unfortunately the bird simply repeats "If anyone comes, tell them that I am not here" when people come to the door and so the man's secret is revealed.

The story is actually an old and famous Chinese Joke. But is can also be used as daily advice, not give away your secrets to those whom you can not trust.

INTELLIGENCE

Chinese Tea Philosophy

This story says that if you drink one cup of Chinese tea, you will feel relaxed and comfortable.

After you drink your second cup, you will feel happy, and your brain will feel like it's flying.

And when you drink your third cup, all of your troubles and worries will melt away.

SERENITY

Gone Fishing for Life

This picture has a simple title, but the meaning is much deeper.The large bold black stroke represents your life and the many turns in it. Life is long but it sometimes may seem like you don't have enough time here.

The act of fishing represents looking for something - such as meaning in your life. Perhaps when you finally catch that fish, then you will understand your purpose and the meaning of Your life - or perhaps it will bring more questions for you to answer.

UNDERSTANDING

The Mighty Family Man, qi jin gong ai qi you ai zi 

This painting depicts the ancient Chinese philosophy that even the mightiest general in the army is a loving father, husband and family man when he is home just like other men.

It is also suggested is that a man's responsibilities at home are as important as his obligations at work no matter his stature in society.

In the picture, a great and powerful general of perhaps the Shang Dynasty (17th - 11th century B.C.) has returned from all of his important professional military obligations and is home playing with his son which is just as important in one's life.

RESPONSABILITY

At Least I Have An Ass

This painting tells of a man who is jealous of all the other men because they have horses, and all he has in an ass. As his mind ponders this thought, he turns his head and sees a man carrying a heavy load on his back.

The man then realizes that he is lucky because at least he has an ass (and he shouldn't spend so much time comparing his ass with others).

BEING GRATEFULL 

Please Note:  You CAN´T apply this in human beings , your fds can be angry if you say "Hey baby, stop comparing yourself to other women, at least you have an ass".  Apparently this is already responsible for one divorce somewhere in Minnesota - lol.

Go Fishing in the Mountains

Maybe it seems silly to go fishing in the mountains, but we all need a place to get away and think.In this painting the man does not expect to catch fish, but rather is there to think and contemplate his life, or find solutions to any problems he might have, and just get away from the real world for a while.

This painting is inspired by the story of a gifted philosopher and scholarly man named Yan Zi Ling who was called to service by Emperor Liu Che during the Han Dynasty. Yan Zi Ling did not want to take a position of authority in the government, fearing that holding such power, he would become corrupt.

Even though he was a wise, talented, and honorable man, he knew that service in the imperial court could corrupt even the most ethical person. He felt so strongly about preserving his own integrity and dignity that he decided that it would be better to live in exile than to become another corrupt official.

For several years, Emperor Liu Che sent men out to search the countryside and find Yan Zi Ling. But the emperor's men couldn't find him. Of course, the emperor's men had no idea that Yan Zi Ling now lives in his own special place in the mountains where he could get away from the trouble of the world
