A poor man's lesson: appreciation & gratitude

Sometimes having nothing will help you appreciate the true  values of things. Living in gratitude will make your life more abundance and happier.

A penny is not just a penny, it has value.
A dollar not just a dollar, it's worth a dollar (you can get food with it!).
An apple is not just an apple, it is valuable food to sustain your body.
A cup of water is not just a cup of water, it's life!
An run down apartment is not just a run down apartment, it keeps you warm and safe.

To live everyday, and to see the true value of things, will make you a wiser and content person.
