(Clearwisdom.net) I am employed in a private company and have to work on Saturdays. How can I do the three things required by Teacher? This is what I do: I get up at five every morning and send forth righteous thoughts at six. Then I go to work. There is less traffic at that hour, so I can get to my job quickly. Then I have breakfast and listen to a lecture from Zhuan Falun on my MP3 player. After that, I start working. At noon, after sending righteous thoughts and eating my lunch, I use the rest of the hour to read Teacher's lectures or go online to clarify the truth, send out the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, or post announcements of those who have quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. In the afternoon, I use my 30-minute break to read the articles on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website. After work, I send righteous thoughts on my way home.
The advantage for nine-to-fivers is that, financially, we are not interfered with much and our jobs usually give us opportunities to talk with people face-to-face. With a full-time job, it is hard for me to have a big block of time to talk to a large number of people about the truth of the persecution and counsel them to quit the CCP. However, I try to do it with the people I meet.
At work I receive many business cards. After I come back from a business meeting, I usually send factual information about Falun Gong to the email addresses on the business cards or write to people in my own name. If we have time to sit down for lunch or dinner, it is even better. Most people want to quit the CCP. Many people have seen through the CCP, and they know that the Party and government officials are using their power for personal gains; they even know that the CCP's days are numbered. In fact, deep in people's minds, they are agreeable to "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance." It's just because they are so caught up in fame, gains, and sentimentality that that they cannot see straight. Our job is to help them reconnect with the nature of the universe.
When I ride the bus or go shopping, I also meet people. One young man chatted with me after I gave him directions on how to find a certain place. In our conversation, I recommended the health products that my company offered to its employees. He asked me to get some for him, so I invited him to come the following noontime. The next day when he came to pick up the products, he quit the CCP and found out more about Falun Dafa.
I have talked to all kinds of people: vendors selling fruit, telephone card sellers, peanut and melon seed sellers, taxi drivers, and plumbers. Some really hated the CCP and they accepted the truth very readily and quit the CCP wholeheartedly. Some are very cynical. One woman was selling steamed stuffed buns. When I talked to her, she laughed at me, which drew the attention of the nearby vendors. The next day, I went there earlier, before her neighbors came. While I was waiting for the buns, I asked if her child, who would soon graduate from university, had secured a job yet. The husband said, "No connections, no power, no job. This is a corrupt government. It is doomed to collapse." So I said right away, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you quit [the CCP] now?" Both of them said, "Yes, yes!"
Teacher said in "Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital," "The focus for you right now is simply to find ways to do better, to be more efficient, to have a greater impact, and to save more people,"
In the past, I seldom participated in company activities or socialized with my colleagues. In the last two years, I have been joining in these events. For special occasions, I organize performances and get to know colleagues from other departments. I even offer to sing a solo or be the lead singer so more people can get to know me. In this way, I lay the groundwork for clarifying the truth to them later. When I received a bonus for my research project, I gave all those who assisted me a portion of the money. When I gave them the money, I talked to them about the persecution. As a result, over half of my colleagues have quit the CCP.
We have a new office manager, so I befriended her. The previous manager had quit the CCP. I took the new manager out for dinner and talked to her about the truth and counseled her to quit the CCP. She did not quite understand. Then I emailed her more information, including the prophecies. Shortly after that she used an alias to quit the CCP Youth League.
Later she sent me an invitation to her wedding. Some colleagues suggested that I not go because I would have to give a handsome gift. But I thought this would be a good opportunity to get to know her husband, who may not know the truth, so I decided to attend.
At the wedding, I spoke on behalf of the company. I commended her good qualities and congratulated the groom, and wished the couple a happy marriage. Then I sang for them. After their honeymoon, I wrote to the husband about Falun Gong and quitting the CCP. He quit the Youth League soon after. I may never have another chance to see him, but he was saved. It was worth it.
We have a high staff turnover where I work. I do not miss any who leave. One young man had a fight with the boss over his salary. He quit his job in anger and changed his cell phone number as well. I tracked him down and asked for his email address. He thought I was going to find him a job. He wrote to me, "It's so heartening that you care about me, especially when I have lost my job. You are like a mother to me. I can only repay your kindness by working harder in my new job. I look forward to hearing from you." I did not know what to do. Then I remembered a couple of people I knew in management positions and called them. They were impressed with my kindness and interviewed the young man. My former colleague got two job offers and was also saved.
Because of feeling fearful, I have lost many opportunities to clarify the truth to people. I feel very guilty and ashamed whenever I think about how Teacher picked me up from hell, told me about the Fa, and turned me into a Fa-rectification disciple. What opportunity and glory! I have received so much and yet I am not giving enough to help save more people. Even though not everyone can cultivate, what better thing can we do for our friends, relatives, and people with whom we have predestined relationships than to tell them about Dafa?
