I received this email from someone, but it's written in Chinese, and I thought that I should share it with you all, therefore I translated it in English. Enjoy...


First story:
A does not like to eat eggs, so, every time if he has eggs, he will give them to B to eat. B is very grateful at the beginning, however, as time passes, B used to that condition. So, until one day, A gives the eggs to C, and B is on bad mood. B has forgotten that the eggs are belongs to A, therefore, it's still A's wish to whom he wants to give those eggs to. To this end, there are a big fight.

Second story:
In a hot summer, a team of people went out for drifting. A girl was playing with water, and accidentally, her slippers fell off, and sink to the bottom. At the shore, under a very hot sun, there are still a long way to go for them. So, the girl went to seek help from others, but everyone has only a pair of slippers. The girl was very unhappy, because she used to ask for help, and she always got the help that she wants. However, not this time. Suddenly, she felt that all these people are bad.
Later, a boy came and gave his slippers to her, and he is on his bare feet in the hot sun. The girl thanks the boy, then the boy said, "you have to remember, no one is required to help you. If someone helps you out, it is because of friendship, however, there is nothing wrong if someone doesn't want to help." After heard what the boy said, she learned if someone helps her, in return she should feel grateful.

Very often, we always want everybody to be nice to us.
At first, we feel grateful. But after a long time, we get used to it and accustomed to the good that the person offered. We think that it should always be that way. But, of course it's not always that way. One day, when we don't get what we used to get, we feel resentment. We feel that the person has changed. In fact, in this kind of situation, nothing has changed from that person, instead our expectation is the one that has changed. We expect more from that person, therefore we forget the gratitude.
