An unwise investment!!!
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
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."
Share this story with someone you like....
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.
