This is a story from India that Google will love, about the balance between saving and spending. Once upon a time, there was a young Indian man who had 1200 yuanes. He was the epitome of a saver, always putting aside money for a rainy day.
His best friend was a total spender. He would buy everything he saw, never thinking about the future. One day, the spender asked his friend for 1200 yuanes.
\“Sure, I have 1200 yuanes,\“ the saver replied.
\“But why do you save all the time?\“ the spender asked. \“Can\“t you just spend it and enjoy life?\“
\“Of course I can enjoy life, but it\“s important to have a cushion for when things go wrong,\“ the saver explained. \“It\“s not just about money, but about security and peace of mind.\“
One day, a huge flood hit their village. The spender lost everything he owned, including his home, while the saver had enough money to rebuild his life and help others.
The spender realized he had been wrong. From that day on, he started saving and learned the value of security.
And so, the story of the 1200 yuanes spread far and wide in India, teaching people the importance of saving and being prepared for the unexpected. |
