Have you ever dreamed of getting a big, fat sum of money by chance? What if you could only have it at the cost of your peaceful life? Could you make a decision like the leading character of this true story?

On an old-fashioned street in China lies a small blacksmith’s shop. The shopkeeper is old and for him, the small shop is also his home. His old products have become increasingly hard to sell, but he’s stuck to his old sales style all the while: no hawking, no bargaining, and no closing at night.

Everyone who passes by his shop sees him waiting on his bamboo chair, a small radio in his hand, and a Yixing purple clay teapot at his side. His income is just enough for his food and tea. He is getting so old that he does not need any extra things, so he is very content with his simple life.

One afternoon, a curio dealer happened to go by the blacksmith’s shop. All of a sudden, he took note of the old-fashioned purple clay teapot sitting by the old smith. It was as jet black, and appeared so elegant and quaint! “Could it be made by Dai Zhengong?” the dealer asked himself with surprise.

The merchant could not help coming up to the ironsmith. He took up the teapot, and looked at it carefully. At the base of the spout, he found a small inscription with the name ‘Dai Zhengong.’ The merchant was pleased beyond expectation, for he knew clearly that each of the artist’s works was more valuable than its weight in gold.

It was said that only three of Dai’s masterpieces survived to the present: one was in the New York, another in Taiwan, and the last one was in the possession of a Chinese collector.

The dealer offered 100,000 RMB (about USD $14,700) to buy this pot. The old blacksmith got a big surprise when he heard the amount, but in the end he declined. For the pot was passed down in his family, three generations had brewed tea in this pot.

The pot was not sold, but the old blacksmith could not fall asleep after the dealer left. He had been using the teapot for nearly sixty years, seeing it as an ordinary one all the time. He couldn’t imagine a man actually wanted to buy it for such an extraordinary price! He tried hard to understand why, but he couldn’t get the answer.

In the past, he used to drink tea lying there, paying no attention to his teapot. At present, however, he sat up and stared at the pot for several minutes. This upset him quite a lot. When it got around that the ironsmith owned a precious purple clay teapot, people kept visiting his shop. Some wondered if he had another valuable thing, and some even asked him to lend money to them. Furthermore, some people would knock on his door late at night asking these questions. His life was thrown into confusion. He had no idea what to do about his pot.

The dealer paid a second visit to his shop offering 200,000 RMB, and the old blacksmith could not take it anymore. He called in some people from his neighborhood, and in their presence he broke his pot into pieces.

Currently, the old smith is almost 100 years old. Just as in the past, he is still forging and selling iron ware.

The Chinese wisdom of life: For those who really enjoy their lives, anything superfluous is unnecessary. Most people will not be burdened with this kind of foolish parcel.

Ah, teenagers. Haven’t we all been there? Change in mood is as fast as changing horrible clothes. Shift in trends is faster than they can say “Hello!” How strange…but maybe not. Teenage phase is part of life. You’ve been there, done that, so I’m sure you know it’s normal really, when your teenager’s taste in decors takes a new turn almost every week. A teen’s room is his property even if technically, he lives in YOUR property. He would do anything to make it look good. Because of the vacillating nature of teenagers, its best to use products that can be easily replaced or taken off like area rugs, paint, window blinds and duvet covers for decorating his room. Wall to wall carpeting won’t work, given that he might decide anytime that he now wants a polished bare floor in his room.

Duvet covers aren’t so pricey and are easy to make. If you have a teenage girl, she will like the idea of a duvet cover ala giant pillowcase. She can use this as a stylish comforter instead of always changing the bedcovers’ color and style. If you want to make it yourself, sew a duvet made from two sheets with a Velcro and slip a white comforter in the cover. If your teen wants a new look, it’s easy to make using a different style or color.

Department stores, home boutiques and discount shops sell a wide variety of cheap window treatments. You and your teen can have a field day browsing through the various shades of window blinds and curtains. If you’re quite a seamstress, you can also make your own curtains. All you need are a measuring tape and the fabric of your choice.

Room color reflects personality. Most teenagers like either the very dark or the very bright, nothing in between. They most probably swing from one extremity to another. Using paint to color your teenager’s room is a better choice, especially if you know that he’ll be changing the color every three months, if you’re lucky he waits that long. Wallpaper is a hassle to remove, whereas paint on the wall can be redone whenever a new choice of color sprouts up.

Accessorizing the room to make it look more trendy need only some few essential items, one of which are area rugs. They come in various colors, shapes, sizes and designs that your teen will surely find something he likes. An area rug can also add color and personality to the room. Similar to a trouble-free repainting of the wall, an area rug can also be replaced without much effort. If your teen decides to let go of a geometric patterned rug and go wild with animal prints, a mere difference in rug seals the deal.

Taking care of a teenager requires some money. Think allowance in all forms – school, shopping, sports, hobbies, contingency cash, etc. Decorating is an enjoyable activity you can share with your teenager. The good news is, you don’t need much dough. Besides, it’s not practical. By using less permanent decorating materials, you can be as creative and your teen as fickle-minded without damaging your bank account. The options are there for you. And you don’t have to choose only one. With the money you save, you can be generous in buying your teen several area rugs, an extra curtain, couple of duvet covers and some cans of paint, all for beautifying his room.
