        在这个世界上，最珍贵的东西是免费的。
　　阳光是免费的。没有谁能够离开阳光活下去，然而，可曾有谁为自己享受过的阳光支付过一分钱？空气是免费的。一个人只要活着，就需要不停地呼吸。可又有谁为他呼吸过的空气付账？无论普通人还是大明星，他们一样自由地呼吸着天地间的空气。
　　亲情是免费的。每一个婴儿来到世上，都受到了父母无微不至的关爱，那是一份不求回报的疼爱。父母的这份爱，不因孩子的成年而减少，更不因父母的衰老而削弱。友情是免费的。寂寞时默默陪伴你的那个人，摔倒时向你伸出手臂的那个人，伤心时将你搂在怀里的那个人，可曾将他的付出算成现金，然后要你还钱？爱情是免费的。那份不由自主的爱，那份无法忍住的思念，那份一路相伴的深情，正是生命中最深切的安慰与最坚实的依靠。而这一切，都是免费的，更是金钱买不来的。
　　目标也是免费的。无论王子，还是流浪儿，只要愿意，就能为自己的人生确立一个目标。这个目标既可以伟大也可以平凡，既可以辉煌也可以朴素，只要你愿意，你就能拥有。
　　还有信念、希望、意志、梦想……所有这一切，，都是免费的，只要你想要，你就能得到。生活是公正的，更是慷慨的，它早已把最珍贵的一切，免费地赠送给了每一个人。

The Kindness of Strangers

A businessman in China has announced that his workers can take days off if they're not in a good mood.

It has been called "unhappiness leave." And Yu Donglai, who is the founder of a supermarket chain called Pang Dong Lai, said his employees can use 10 days of this leave each year.

"I want every staff member to have freedom. Everyone has times when they're not happy, so if you're not happy, do not come to work," Yu said earlier this year.

He added that shop managers cannot deny workers this leave if they ask for it.

This leave is in addition to the days off that the company's employees already have.

According to the South China Morning Post, Pang Dong Lai workers get between 30 and 40 days of leave each year, as well as five days off during New Year. Their working days are seven hours long, and employees don't work on weekends.

Yu said of his company: "We do not want to be big. We want our employees to have a healthy and relaxed life, so that the company will too."

The average monthly salary at Pang Dong Lai is about $970, which is much higher than the average in China for workers in similar jobs.

Yu has 13 shops in Henan province, and they have become known for their customer service. He's known as a good boss in a country where many workers are said to be feeling burned out at work.
