A tired man came home late from his whole day hard work. His 5 year old son was waiting for him at the door.
Son : Dad , may i ask you a question?
Dad : Yeah
Son : Dad how much do you make an hour?
Dad : That is none of your business.
Son : please tell me.
Dad : 200 rupees an hour.
Son : Dad , may i please borrow rupees 100?
Dad got angry and shouted on the kid to go to bed. the little boy went to the room and shut the door.
After sometime the man got calm and he went to kid's room and said that sorry for being so hard. Here's your 100 rupees you asked for.
Kid smiled and replied : oh thank you Dad!
Then the boy took out some coins he had kept under the pillow , he counted them and said : Dad , i have 200 rupees 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 is just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having sometime with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that rupees 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!!
