Sad Story..
Touched my heart so posted it
SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a
question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?"
SON: "Daddy, how much do you
make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business.
Why do you ask such a thing?"
SON: "I just want to know. Please
tell me, how much do you make an
hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $
100 an hour."
SON: "Oh! (With his head down).
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow
$50?"
The father was furious.
DAD: "If the only reason you asked
that is so you can borrow some
money to buy a silly toy or some
other nonsense, then you march
yourself straight to your room and
go to bed. Think about why you are
being so selfish. I work hard
everyday for such this childish
behavior."
The little boy quietly went to his
room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get
even angrier about the little boy's
questions. How dare he ask such
questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man
had calmed down, and started to
think:
Maybe there was something he
really needed to buy with that $ 50
and he really didn't ask for money
very often. The man went to the
door of the little boy's room and
opened the door.
DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"
SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".
DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe I
was too hard on you earlier. It's
been a long day and I took out my
aggravation on you. Here's the $50
you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up,
smiling.
SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"
Then, reaching under his pillow he
pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The man saw that the boy already
had money, started to get angry
again. The little boy slowly counted
out his money, and then looked up
at his father.
DAD: "Why do you want more
money if you already have some?"
SON: "Because I didn't have
enough, but now I do.
"Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy
an hour of your time? Please come
home early tomorrow. I would like
to have dinner with you."
The father was crushed. He put his
arms around his little son, and he
begged for his forgiveness. It's just
a short reminder to all of you
working so hard in life. We should
not let time slip through our fingers
without having spent some time
with those who really matter to us,
those close to our hearts. Do
remember to share that $100 worth
of your time with someone you
love? If we die tomorrow, the
company that we are working for
could easily replace us in a matter
of days. But the family and friends
we leave behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives. And come
to think of it, we pour ourselves
more into work than to our family.
Some things are more important.
