Hardworking 4 what?- Think twice about it...

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 Rs.100 an hour." "Oh," the little boy
replied, with his head down.

Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?"

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 Rs.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.

"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
Rs.50 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, and 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 Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

Lesson to learn from Heart Touching Story:

But even better, share Rs.100 worth of time with someone you love.

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.

Think PRACTICALLY

Never take some one for granted, Hold every person close to your Heart because

you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond
while you were too busy collecting stones................
