The Importance of Time

The man came home from work late again. He felt very tired. His 5 years old son waited for him at the door. Then the boy asked,"Daddy, may I ask you a question?". "Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.

"Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?"

"That's none of you business! What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.

"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.

"If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour."

"Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed.

Looking up, he said,"Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?" the father was furious.

"If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy silly toy or some other nonsense, then you'd better go to your room and go to bed. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don't have time for such childish games." the little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. The man went to the door of the little boy's room.

"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man. "It's been a long day and I am very tired and say something rude to you. Here's that $10.00 you asked for." the little boy sat straight up, beaming. 

"Oh, thank you Daddy!" he yelled, then reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more money. The man knowing the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up the man.

"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?" the man couldn't speak for a moment and finally he realized his mistakes. He spent too much time to work. He didn't have much time for his son. With eyes full of tears, he hugged his son and asked for forgiveness.

touching rite? :D

Lesson Learned

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people lived. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

"It was great, Dad."

"Did you see how poor people live?" asked the father.

The son asnwered:"I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."

They boy's father was speechless.

Then, his son added,"Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

LOL !
