Be contented!

This is a story that always reminds me that I should be contented in what I have. I want this to share with you because I know many of us always look for the things that we don’t have. But this is something guys… WE SHOULD APPRECIATE AND BE THANKFUL FOR THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE, FOR WE ARE LUCKY THAT WE HAVE THE THINGS THAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN LONGING FOR.

La Parure or popularly known as the Necklace, a short story by Guy de Maupassant. It is the story of Madame Mathilde Loisel and her husband. Mathilde always imagined herself in a high social position with wonderful jewels. However she has nothing and marries a low paid clerk who tries his best to make her happy. This is a story of a woman who is never contented in what she has. Thus, after losing the necklace she borrowed from a friend. She and her husband replaced it with the one that looks just like it. They lose everything just to replace the necklace. But in the end they’ll just know that the necklace that they had lost is actually a fake one.

What a twist! She should have asked first. Oh well, that’s life. Just remember to BE CONTENTED always :)
