It’s not possible to stay together with loved ones all the time. Sometimes family members have to be far away from each other. During that time they might face something terrible. Although we know what they are suffering, being far away makes it harder to help and comfort (安慰) loved ones. There is no use worrying a lot about them. Keeping a positive attitude of support is more helpful than getting into worrying about the person. I think it is what I can do to help my loved ones.
My daughter has been working full-time during summer about 10 hours a day. She has to study hard for a big entrance exam. At first, like most people, I wanted to try to solve the problems and analyse (分析) the situation, Was there a better way of time management? Was there a better way of studying for this test? However, that was not always helpful. Sometimes, it even gave more pressure to her. Sometimes it might sound like there was something wrong to fix. However, it was just tiring at the end of the day. What would be the kind thing to do in this situation. It was hard to read someone’s mind. I decided to just chat with her online and to send a hug emoji (表情) this time. It seemed more suitable than talking about solutions. Giving space can also be an act of help, comfort and kindness.
It was a fun and meaningful experiment to actively think about kind things to do rather than let it happen naturally. I’ve realized it and I’m grateful for this chance to share online. Give it a try too and you’ll enjoy sweetness.

Located a few blocks away from the White House, Sakina Halal grill in Washington DC is a restaurant with a difference. Enter during the busy lunch time and you will find businessmen and women eating side by side with the homeless. The owner Kazi Mannan, who is from Pakistan, would not run it in any other way.
Growing up in a village with no electricity, running water or even a building for a school, Kazi is familiar with poverty (贫穷) and hunger. Even in those hard days, whenever his mother Sakina cooked for her own children, she would provide some for her neighbours as well.
When Kazi reached America, he only had three dollars in his hand. With the help of a Pakistani bus driver, he finally earned a down payment (首付款) on a restaurant.

But he did not stop there, Keeping his mother’s teachings in mind, he not only used her old recipes (菜谱) but also decided to let the homeless eat at his restaurant for free.

Many friends said, “Don’t let homeless people come inside your restaurant. They will ruin your business. “But I don’t care. If I fail, I fail!” said Kazi Mannan.
