Chinese Wisdom of the Week

"Better to make a net than to yearn for fish at the edge of the pond. " -- Chinese Proverbs


It is easy to stand at the edge of our yearnings and wish for those things seemingly beyond our reach. However, in order to attain what we desire, we must be resourceful and find the means to grasp it with both hands. We hope that your net will be continually full of the fish, which bring you happiness.


Your Friends,
