(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Dafa practitioner in the countryside of Liaoning Province. I make a living by manual labor, normally having to work over ten hours a day. It is quite tiring.

The non-practitioners with whom I work usually try to loaf on the job when the boss or supervisor is away. They fight for doing the easy jobs and leave those tiring jobs they don't want to do for me. The boss has noticed that I'm quite capable and assigns only those jobs to me that the others don't want to do. As I'm never concerned about the hardships, whatever he asks me to do, I guarantee to do it well. The boss is therefore very fond of me and trusts me very much.

Other employees also enjoy working with me. They regularly take a cigarette break and rest. I don't smoke, nor do I loaf on the job. When we work together, I do the lion's share of the work. They commented, "Why are you so silly? You don't take a rest at all!" I replied that I am a cultivator and I must strictly discipline myself.

The workforce consists of men and women. Neither shy away from using any dirty words that come to their minds. They also take work supplies home, and encourage me to do the same. Some people say, "There is no one like you among people nowadays. You don't smoke, drink or hunt for women. You only work hard and don't steal. What is the meaning of life for you?" I said, "I'm a Dafa practitioner. I will never do anything that would damage the reputation of Dafa."

I pro-actively help anyone who has difficulties in completing their jobs. They often fight for good jobs, and conflicts often arise. I then help smooth the communication among them. They all have a good impression of me.

I treat myself as a Dafa practitioner and balance well relations with others, strictly disciplining myself. They have been witnesses to my conduct. Thus, it is easy for me to clarify the truth and guide them to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. They all say, "You are a good person, we trust you!" Most people who have been getting along with me for a longer period of time have withdrawn from the CCP.

Whatever kind of job we practitioners do, our words and actions directly relate to the reputation of Dafa. So we must truly treat ourselves as a Dafa practitioners and discipline ourselves strictly in every respect. Only then can we do better in offering salvation to sentient beings.
