De todo un poco

إِذَا قَلَّ مَا تَفْرَح بِه….قَلَّ مَا تَحْزَن عَلَيه.
الإِنْسَان بِطَبِيعَتِه دَائِمًا مَا يُرِيد المَزِيد ولَا يَكْتَفِي بِمَا يَمْلِك, ويَظُن أن السَعَادَة تَكْمُن فِي الأمُور الدَارِجَة مِثل النِسَاء والسَفَر والأَمْوَال الكَثِيرَة وغَيْرِهَا.
بِالرُغم مِن أَنَّ هُنَالِك الكَثِير مِنَ القِصَص التي تُثْبِت بِأنه ليس من الضَرُورِي أن يكون الشخص سَعِيدًا إِذَا أمتَلَك كُل مَا يُرِيد. 
يَجِب على الإِنْسَان إِدْرَاك أنه مِنَ المُسْتَحِيل تَحْقِيق السَعَادَة الكَامِلَة فِي هَذِه الحَيَاة. ومَن ظَنَّ أن السَعَادَة تَكْمُن فِي شَرِيك أو وَظِيفَةٍ مُعَيَنَة فَإِنَّه مُخْطِئ.
السَعَادَة الحَقِيقِيَة هِيَ طَمَأنِينَة وسَلَام دَاخِلِي رُغم كُل الظُرُوف المُحِيطَة بِك. والإنْسَان السَعِيد يُدْرِك جَيدًا أن أي حُزْن فِي هَذِه الحَيَاة مُؤَقَت وأي سَعَادَة أَيضًا مُؤَقَتَة.
القَنَاعَة كَنْزٌ لَا يَفْنَى والإِنْسَان السَعِيد يَكُون قَنُوعًا بِمَا يَمْتَلِك ويُحَاوُل جَاهِدًا أَن لا يُفَكِّر بِإِمْتِلَاك مَاعِندَ الغَير.

Nihongo tokidoki Inaka hougen with Megumi Na

東北地方の方言で早口言葉に挑戦しよう！Let's try the tongue twister of the Tohoku dialect!

Today's content is brief, but there is a phrase in "Minna no Nihongo" that means "Nice to meet you," which is "どうぞよろしく" . However, I think it's not used very often. In the last 20 years, I've only heard this phrase from Japanese learners. A more natural way to say it is "よろしくおねがいします" , and a more polite version would be "どうぞ、よろしく おねがいします" .

As for my "Minna no Nihongo" lesson course, I recently created a lot of audio homework. I recommend it for those who want to start studying Japanese. Please give it a try.

Alright, everyone, keep up the good work with your Japanese. See you again!
