(Minghui.org) My husband and I were fired from our jobs at the onset of the persecution of Falun Dafa in 1999. We had difficulties making ends meet.
My younger brother started a company and hired my husband, but did not pay him very well. However, he paid my younger sister, her husband, and another younger brother a good salary.
My husband was upset and became cold and easily lost his temper. I knew that as a Falun Dafa practitioner, I had to forbear.
I was wondering why I had a tough time finding a good job. I obtained Dafa and should have good fortune. Even non-practitioners can find good jobs, so why not me? Maybe I was not following the Dafa principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. So I studied the Fa more and improved my moral character. Soon, I let go of many human notions.
Both my husband and I then found satisfactory jobs. My husband got along well with his new boss and was very happy again.
He suggested celebrating the 2016 Chinese New Year with my family members in our hometown. Although he does not practice Dafa, he said that he needed to look within.
During this Chinese New Year’s eve, our whole family sat together to have a big meal and we had a great 2016 Chinese New Year. My husband apologized for his bad feelings in the past. My brother and sister laughed and said they understood.
Dafa's principles helped us realign our attitude and understanding and helped us return to a harmonious family life.
Being a Good Person
I am a former real estate agent. Several real estate agents and I met with a group of customers. We told them about apartments for sale and some of the customers wanted to see the apartments.
One of the agents had called her company for a vehicle to take these customers to see the apartments. However, it did not come and my customer became impatient.
This agent’s colleague asked me to call my company for transportation, as their company did not have any vehicles available that day to pick up the customers. The vehicle soon arrived and took the customer to the apartment.
I remained behind to meet with other customers. The other agent accused me of trying to take away her customer. She bad-mouthed me the entire day.
I was worried about her and I went to a nearby restaurant and brought her a bowl of noodles, which she accepted.
This agent criticizes people regardless of who they are. However, she no longer confronts me and treats me nicely.
This was noticed by another agent who told me that I am a good person because I normally did not spend any money on myself, but I bought noodles for her, even after she found fault with me all day.
Falun Dafa has helped me to think of others and be considerate.
