The Chinese Mirror

A Chinese farmer went to the city to sell his rice harvest and his wife asked him to not forget to bring her a comb.

After selling their rice in the city, the farmer met with a few friends, and they drank and celebrated for a long time. Later, a little confused, at the moment of returning, he remembered that its wife had asked him for something, but: what was? He couldn't remember.

He enter to a store and bought the first thing that draw his attention: a mirror. When he returned to the village, he gave the gift to his wife and went back to the fields to work.

His wife looked at the mirror  and began to cry inconsolably. Her mother asked the reason for her tears. And the wife said: My husband brought another woman, young and beautiful.

Her mother looked at the mirror and said to her daughter: You don't have to worry is an old women. (Author unknown)

Ignorance is one of the disadvantages of the human being and can incapacitate  intellectually and emotionally. There is much to learn, there is much to see, and there is much to live. Knowledge opens doors to new opportunities, and new possibilities for your life. Don't limit yourself.
