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 RM100 an
hour."
SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with
his head down.
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow RM50?"
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 RM50 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 RM50 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 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.
"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 RM100 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 RM.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 & 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.
