My seven-year old son Nathan suddenly asked me a question the other day, "Mom, why are you working so hard?"

Nathan said, "But our life is already perfect."

Nathan's remark made me thinking, "If only I could look at the world as how the kids do, I would be much happier."

But why cannot I?

Can you?

Although adults take lots of responsibilities which might be burdens of their lives, the perpective of the child is still informing.

个性小西红柿

当我吃完饭摸着自己涨得圆鼓鼓的肚子时，我会说生活真美好

生活美好就是一种满足感
