Some things are more important

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 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: "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.

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."

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 would 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.

Sad, but so very true ...

After dinner a teacher started checking homework done by her students. Her husband is strolling around with a smart phone playing his favorite game, ‘Candy Crush Saga.’ When reading the last homework paper, the wife starts crying with silent tears ...

Her husband saw this and asked, ‘Why are you crying, dear? What happened?’

Wife: ‘Yesterday I gave a homework assignment to my 1st grade students, to write something on the topic ... 'MY WISH ...’

Husband: ‘OK, but why are you crying?’

Wife: ‘Today while checking the last paper, it made me cry.’

Husband curiously asked: ‘What’s written on the paper that makes you cry?’

Wife: 'Listen!'

MY WISH is to become a smart phone.

My Parents love their smart phones very much.
They care about their smart phones so much that sometimes they forget to care for me.
When my father comes from work tired, he has time for his smart phone but not for me.
When my parents are doing some important work and one of their smart phones start ringing, within a single ring they answer the phone, but not to me ... even if I am crying.
They play games on their smart phones but not with me.
When they are talking to someone on their smart phones, they never listen to me even if I am trying to tell them something that is important.
So, MY WISH is to become a smart phone.

After listening to the assignment written on the homework paper the husband got emotional and asked his wife, ‘Who wrote this??’.

Wife: ‘OUR SON!’

Gadgets are beneficial, but they are for our ease not to cease the love amongst family and loved ones.
Children see and feel everything what happens with and around them. Things get imprinted in their minds with an everlasting effect. Let’s take due care, so that they do not grow with any false impressions.

Time does not change people ...

It is a sign ...

God is not in a hurry ...

The value of life ...

Don't make me regret it ...

You can earn more money ...

Don't waste your time ...

His on time...

His timing is perfect...

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life.

Be happy now.

Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.
Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. 

Every minute should be enjoyed and savored. 

[Earl Nightingale]

Lack of time...

Spend time...

God is Good!

Time is like a river...
