(Minghui.org) I previously worked as a salesperson in a store owned by a private building materials engineering company. The store manager worked on many major projects, and was too busy to work in the store. I therefore worked alone in the store most of the time. A separate business unit did the material purchasing and selling in our store. We bought the aluminum alloy materials by the pound, and sold the materials by the piece. The manager did not have an accounting log for inventory. When he had some minor projects, the managers also took materials from the store, but never recorded how many they took. In short, some people felt that there were many ways that I could pilfer money. At that time, I earned only three hundred yuan per month. One aluminum square tube could be sold for seventy or eighty yuan and a few screws could be sold for a few yuan. No one would really know how many square tube pieces were missing from the store, if any, not to mention disappearing small screws and nails.

I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, and I understand the relationship between "gain" and "loss.” I know that to be a good person my every thought and every idea should be in accordance with the Fa, and be worthy of Master. To be a good person I carefully reform any bad thoughts that surface. We can only be Master's disciples when we are mentally and physically pure. We can't be counted as Falun Dafa practitioners if we only practice the exercises but don't act in accordance with Master's requirements. Although there are only three principles, in today's materialistic society, to closely follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is indeed very difficult. I am a Dafa practitioner and I do my best to follow Master's requirements. Therefore, not only shouldn't I take advantage of my work situation, but I should also not even think about taking advantage of anything.

There was a supervisor at the company who sometimes took home company building materials. He once wanted to pay less for some materials by trying to give me some benefits. I didn't agree with his proposal. He once remodeled his home and needed a lot of building materials. He suggested that I not charge him for the materials he needed because the manager was not there and the amount of the materials in the store was not accounted for. I said to him, "I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Master requires that I be a good person at all times. Whatever I do, it must be worthy of my conscience. If I don't charge you for the materials you want, it is not only swindling the manager, but also deceiving ourselves. If you don't want anyone to know, then just don't do it. If I don't charge you for these materials, both of us will gain nothing but will lose our most valuable virtue." He didn't understand what I said at the time, and resented me as a stubborn person. He knew that all Falun Gong practitioners were rare good people in today's society. He later started up his own aluminum materials store. On several occasions he offered me a high salary to work as a salesperson there.

I always try to be better and better in my daily life, in accordance with Master's requirements. I was unhealthy in the past. Without my even realizing it, all my illnesses disappeared after I began practicing Falun Gong. I am now very healthy because I always work and act according to Master’s teachings, and always follow the universal principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Not only has Master helped me raise my moral standard, but Master has eliminated all my diseases and has allowed me to be healthy, both mentally and physically.
