Today's Good News

There is no such thing as starting too late — only new chapters worth looking forward to.

He Shou Wu is a familiar traditional Chinese medicinal herb, and its name carries an interesting folk tale.

Legend has it that long ago there was a man named He Shou Wu, and stories about the color of his hair were passed around the village; as time went by, 'He Shou Wu' became the name of this herb.

There was a lady who used to worry a great deal about age.

Seeing young people start businesses, she felt she was too late; seeing others achieve their dreams, she felt she had fallen behind.

Until one day, sorting through her travel photos, she realized that over the years she had been to many places, met many people, and gathered experiences that only time can bring.

She smiled and said, 'My life isn't expiring — it's growing richer in content.'

A Play on Words
He Shou Wu — why worry about having nothing?

Why worry there will be no opportunities? Why worry there will be no future? Life always holds new possibilities.
