Have and No-Use I

My sharing article ‘IQ scale and thought power’ that was from my reading, which I posted in my blog recently, was fundamentally based in the problem of having and no-using. We all have good brains, good thinking skills, styles and experiences. There is no too much difference between one and another of us. Nevertheless, the huge difference has existed between usages of one another. It is main reason of how we are different each other. And it was theme of that article.

Then, I am thinking there are many stories, which are based upon have-and-no-use, in our community, in our country and in our world.

Here is a true story that I have heard from a village-man when I was young.

It was fine summer of my high-school final year. U Maung Lu Gree, one of my Pa Pa’s close friends who often visited our house told about his dream son-in-law.
At that time, he had two daughters and one son. His eldest daughter was a couple years younger than I was. He was also one of the richest persons in our village.
On that day, U Maung Lu Gree said the following example story about his regards on his dream son-in-law.

He could give to the two young men $100,00 per each to invest on something and send to the city.
One of the two young guys could look around the goods, prices, transportation systems, costs, wages, security, condition of competitors, etc. Then, he decided that he could not invest in anything because he thought nothing was good to invest. He came back to home with $100,000 that he took.
The second young man also looked around to buy something but he also did not find any appropriate goods but he found a casino. He played. At first he won a lot of money but later he lost all his $100,000. He came back home with nothing.

According to U Maung Lu Gree, he could choose the second one as his son-in-law because he could prefer that guy for his doing / acting something, though he lost the money. He said that at least, that young man invested on something; he did something. If he did not lose, he could win. He also said that he gave money to invest, to buy something, to do something, to not come back with tightly holding that money. He thought the first young man who came back home without did anything was not too different from someone who had no money at all.

There is no much difference between ‘no-having’ and ‘no-using.’
