Thank you very much dear friends for being present accompanying my work, the week passed very quickly, we have again arrived on Monday. A long week where many things happened, it's time for a break, a little evaluation about what happened would be very good, in my blog there will be a place for a beautiful reflection.

Life is a true mystery, not everyone has to live in the same way, at birth we never know what awaits us ahead, or the family that will touch you, if you will be a privileged person and will be touched by a family To cash, in my case, by our economic situation I have to assume responsibilities very prematurely.

Working from an early age brings some maturation, links you with people older than yours, from whom you have the opportunity to learn from their experiences, those you can use to overcome certain obstacles that arise in your way.

I had the opportunity to work in a workshop as a plumbing assistant, the workmen have the particularity of housing many workers, at midday we stopped an hour for lunch, a good time to meet your colleagues, that's how I met a very humble man, he had a super-large family to support, something like ten children, everyone was wondering how he was getting his plumbing officer's salary to live.

This person was always very happy, had no bad days, even when their money was not enough in their home, we always asked them the same question.

How do you do not have bad days?

He always responded with a smile and retired to continue working, at the insistence, one day he told us a story that his father taught.

Today's reflection is inspired by the story "The Circle of 99", a beautiful story that tells of an unfortunate king and his adventurous servant, a beautiful reading that will leave us a great teaching.

A long time ago in a distant place there was an imposing castle, in it lived the most unfortunate king that could exist, there was not a day that was happy, the obligations and commitment of the kingdom did not allow them to be happy.

Although not everything was bad for the king, he had a very helpful lackey, spent the day satisfying the needs of the sovereign, impeccably fulfilled his obligations and kept the king very satisfied, the presence of the young radiated happiness, never had a single day Bad, he never got sick and was always ready with a smile to fulfill the wishes of the king.

One morning the very intrigued king asked his lackey. How could I be so happy? The young man did not know to answer, since he was a child he was raised to be happy and that's how he stayed all his life, at the insistence of the king, he had to think about the things that made him happy and he began to name one by one.

The sovereign was not satisfied with the answer, he could not understand how a person could be happy with those things, everyday things in life, like eating, seeing the sun every morning, waking up and seeing his wife lying next to him, serving a king.

Who was happy being a lackey? Attending the crazy wishes of a king!

However the young man claimed that his happiness was in the simple things of life.

These responses baffled the king, unable to assimilate, sent to call the royal adviser.

- Majesty, have you called me? The counselor asked.

-I need your advice!

-Some years ago I can not be happy, as you can see nothing I lack, but happiness is denied and I do not know what to do to get it, on the other hand I have my lackey, a young man full of needs, even so he is always happy and He never has a bad day.

When asked what he was doing to be happy, he replied that what makes him happy is the life he leads, serving his king and all those simple things that he lives daily.

-I want you to help me understand this!

- There is something that must understand Majesty, People as their lackey, are outside the system, what makes us unhappy is the system.

- What you try to tell me is that if I want to be happy I must leave the system!

-Not my king! You can not leave the system, the real obligations do not allow it, however your lackey has no obligations of royalty, that's why he is happy.

The king tried to understand his counselor, however he could not understand what he was trying to say. I request that he put his lackey in the system.

- As you command majesty! The counselor said

The counselor explained to the king that to understand the situation he should prepare a sack with 999 gold coins, I express that no one can resist the 999 system, but that it should be the exact amount.

Once the sack was prepared with the gold coins, the king and his counselor were present at the door of his lackey, the servant was very punctual, every day he left his home at six in the morning.

Minutes before the appointed time, the counselor left the bag with the coins munido of a note in which said.

"This treasure is yours. It's the prize for being a good man. Enjoy it and do not tell anyone how you found it. "

After leaving the bag, the counselor recommended hiding to see the reaction of the young man, as planned, the young man took the bag that was deposited at his door, after reading the note I look everywhere entering his home again.

The young man could not believe his good luck, as if he were a child he began to count the gold coins, when he reached the end with only 999 coins, he counted again and obtained the same result, he performed the operation several times, always with the same result.

Before this situation began to look desperate for the whole room, sure he had fallen a coin, there was no logic that only gave him 999 and because not a thousand gold coins. All this happened under the astonished looks of the king, he could not believe how the young man's face changed, now he did not look so happy anymore.

As expected, the young man did not show up at the palace to serve his king, he spent all day looking for the missing gold coin, he even went out looking for his home, he walked desperately looking for the gold coin, sure He fell on the road before reaching home, road and road without positive results.

The next morning he appeared in the kingdom to fulfill his obligations, after being consulted by the passing king who did not look so happy, did not even bother to answer the sovereign, before his silence the king asked what happened that day previous one did not show up to fulfill his obligations.

The young man, in a very bad way, responded to the king who had never failed in his service, who did not have to make such a scandal for a single day.

As expected the king could not tolerate such behavior, dismissed him at that same moment sending the royal adviser to remove the bag with gold coins.

The young footman was left without work and the gold coins he had received for good behavior, if only he had accepted the gift and not let the ambition invade his mind, just enjoy the moment.

Why do people act in this way?

Is that nothing is ever enough, because wanting a thousand, when 999 is enough, many times for wanting something else, we put everything at risk or maybe we could not learn from the story

!The goose that lays the golden eggs! Do not let this happen to you in life.

!Do not look for happiness in material goods!
