Hi friends, Today I am here to say that “Money is not only
thing that keeps human being happy.......”
I want to explain it by a story........
SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?"
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such
a thing?"
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do
you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you
must know, I make $100 an hour."
SON: "Oh!
(With his head down).
SON: "Daddy,
may I please borrow $50?"
The father was
furious.
DAD: "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 $ 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.
DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"
SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".
DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"
SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".
DAD: "I've
been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's been a long day and I
took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"
Then, reaching
under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw 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.
DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?"
SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do."
"Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?"
SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do."
"Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
The father was
crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his
forgiveness. 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.
Do remember to
share that $100 worth of your time with someone you love?
If we die tomorrow,
the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of
days. But the family and 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.
Some things are more important.
