recently, i left my place and came to another state in malaysia, i stayed at my friend's house. since i have a long time didn't meet with my friend, then this time i really have a good talk with her. from the topic we talked, i found that she is facing financial problem. since she and her husband need to work, and they worked until 6pm everyday except sunday. she also has two kids, since her kids is still small, so she need to put more time on them, everyday after work, she has no extra time to do other things, even dinner, she also need to eat at outside everyday. so the monthly expenses is quite large. within this 3 weeks, i'm here and cooked for them everyday except sunday. actually i am not well in cooking, but i am learning how to cook. even the food i make is not that delicious, but in my mind, i just hope that i can help them to reduce their burden and save money, since having meal outside really cost higher than cook at home. my friend told me she is happy because everyday after work, when came back to house, she can have a meal. after i listen to her, i felt happy too, i not only can help her to reduce their problem, and i also bring happiness to them =) i am happy with that, there is always a sentence saying, helping other actually is helping our own self. this is really right, when you see someone happy, naturally you will feel happy too. =) few more days later, i will leave here and go back to my own place. i really hope that i can stay more time at here .

It's nice that you can help your friend and it sounds like you have made them happy I'm sure if you asked they would let you stay longer if you want to

ya mikyung, that will be a good karma =) i always believe if you did well in your life, you will have a good karma =) but just do it and never request any payback from other, this will be much more happy^^ olliekobra1, yes you are right. if you would like to lend your helping hand to other, if one day you have problem, they will also lend their happy hand to us too =)

Glad to hear you can do that is useful for others, whatever it is. Hopefully you can continue to do such a thing. Our lives are only meaningful if it could be useful to others.

totally true since i have also faced it,i used to be for long time be selfish and crooked.then later i realised there is no use in being like this since god has given us only one life to live and enjoy and help others obviously,so i started helping others in whatever way i could get and then later i really felt good about it and infact i got more benefits out of it.so i surely suggest everyone to be of little use to others if they cant be of no use.so live for others and share happiness at the right moments

selfishness really will not cause us happy, but bring us into suffer condition. i do believe no one will like selfish people in our life, everyone hope to meet some that could help if in problem and could share their happiness together =) human cannot live individually, if everything just because of ourselves, then living is really have no meaning. hope that we can always helping other when they need a help =)

Every little good things that we do to help others will be greatly appreciated and rewarded. Visiting a friend alone is already a rewarding act, how much morw that you stayed in her place and helped her in doing things out? You are a such a good friend to have! :)

Yeah indeed it is such a great time when you help others to carry out their assignments and also that time when you both help each other so much so that the task gets enjoyable with time and gets done very quickly.

yes, when we can help each other, the problem or task can be solved easily, and you will feel more energetic if you have someone to work together with you. not only that, your friendship will get closer between each other =)
