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.
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
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.
Thanks...
