Life
Something in our life...
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his
5-year
old son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
"Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
"Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
"That's none of your business. Why do 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 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 long hard hours
everyday
and don't have time for such this childish behaviour."
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
He may have been a little hard on his son. 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."

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.
Seized the day, never have regrets.
Love the one you care and care the one you love
