i would like to share a story wif u guys.
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his
5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"
the man said angrily.
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an
hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $20 an hour."
Oh", the little boy replied, with his head down.
Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10?"
The father was furious, "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 $10 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.
"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.
"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 took out my aggravation on you. Here's
the $10 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he
yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up
bills.
The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get
angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his
father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father
grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy
replied.
"Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come
home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
So what is the moral of the story?
THE MORAL OF THIS STORY
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.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could
easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family & 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 . An unwise investment indeed!
Share this story with someone you like. Or even better, share at
least $20 worth of time with someone you love, today &
everyday.
WORK SMART, DONT WORK HARD!
My interpretation : Work smart by chao keng, eat snake. Lastly, u
die 4 the army/ company , no 1 gives a Fu.ck abt u... so be
smart.
