A Little Discussion Between a Child And
His Father
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.
Lesson:
Always remember to share valuable time
with the ones you love.
We seems to pour ourselves more into
work than to our family.
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.
