Masseuse offers valuable lessons for life and work

I had not expected my masseuse to be so insightful.

"All that matters is a platform that you can use to discover what is best that life has in store for you," she said as she was giving me a 100-minute foot massage in a clean, well-lit room equipped with greenery, an aquarium of goldfish and an air purifier on a smoggy winter night.

"If I work at a small street side store I can charge you only 60 yuan ($8.70) or 70 yuan for the same kind of service," she said. "But here you have to pay 338 yuan."
