(Minghui.org) I am a young Falun Dafa practitioner. Although I am not diligent, Master has never given up on me and has arranged the best cultivation environment for me.
Taking Responsibility for A Mistake
When my employer moved to a location that was too far from my home in 2014, I resigned.
Management offered me the job back after a month, because they could not find a suitable replacement. As I was still without work, I accepted the offer, because I thought that this had been arranged by Master. Furthermore, there were people who had not heard about Falun Dafa and the persecution.
The bookkeeper, who is responsible for buying tickets for work trips, was out of the office. Thus, I was told to buy my own ticket.
I bought it at a discount price. Given my lack of experience, however, I booked the wrong date and time. The ticket office could refund only part of the price, as it was a special offer. This mistake would cost me around 600 yuan.
I thought about what to do. I could claim inexperience and not being told the correct procedure. However, the manager or the bookkeeper would have had to pay for my mistake.
Master said:
“Nowadays, people behave this way and will first of all avoid responsibility upon coming across a problem, regardless of whether they are at fault.” (Zhuan Falun)
I withdrew 600 yuan from my bank account and paid for my mistake. The manager was surprised and gave me a way out. However, I refused. As a cultivator, I should do things according to Dafa.
Thinking First of Others
I had accepted the accounting job, which was hard work, because the company was being restructured. For two months, I had to cancel and open new accounts at different banks. My workload also included bookkeeping for my boss's eight companies and the insurance for three companies. As a result, I had to work about 13 hours a day, including extensive travel.
At times, I got fed up about getting home late in the evening and was jealous of other workers. Then, I realized that, as a cultivator, I should first think of the needs of others.
My relatives thought I was foolish, because my company was so far from my home. In addition, I had to work hard and was not paid that well. However, I had promised to my boss that I would not quit.
My hard work and dedication was rewarded. I was promoted and my salary doubled. If I did not practice Falun Dafa, I would have quit this job a long time ago.
