The meaning of life is far from an accumulation of titles

The meaning of life is far from an accumulation of titles. 

【Xian’er says so: “I have been promoted.”】
Shifu let Xian’er be in charge of toilets and urinals.
He asked Xian’er to supervise the most important 22 trenches,
And to look after purchasing and managing of toilet-paper.
Such as what brand to purchase, what softness to get, and how costly it should be.
And even how much to buy at a time, and how often to dispose used paper.
Xian’er is authorized to make final calls on all that.
Xian’er, who has been an underdog for years, can finally hold his head high.
He thought to himself, “I am managing so many things and am finally someone with status.”

Below are quoted from my Shifu’s new book, Say Good Things—Master Xuecheng’s insight on the path to speaking like a Buddha.
The meaning of life is far from an accumulation of titles.
Transcending these titles will allow us to enjoy freedom in this world.
We will not be limited by the interest at hand,
And we will develop more tolerance, clarity, and wisdom,
What is more important is such transcendence enables us to  return to our true self and seek enlightenment. 

人生的意义不仅是身份的叠加

【贤二如是说：我当官了 】

师父把马桶交给了贤二管，
又把小便池交给贤二管，
又把二十二条最重要的地沟也交给贤二管，
卫生纸的采买和摆放也交给贤二管，
买什么牌子，硬一点的还是软一点的，
贵一点的还是便宜一点的，
乃至一次买多少，
用过的纸多长时间清理一次，
全都是贤二说了算。
憋屈多年的贤二，终于感觉有点扬眉吐气了，
心想，管这么多事，我也是个有身份的人了

 以下来自我师父的《好好说话》
人生的意义不仅是身份的叠加。
内心对身份超越，
能让人在现实生活中更洒脱，
不为眼前利益所限制
多一份宽容，多一份清明，多一份智慧。
更重要的是，
这种超越能让我们完成生命的回归，
生命的觉悟。
