Dear All,
I really like this short message (below). It really touches me. May be you
have read this one. But any way, here is another one you might like. I
got it from one of my friend.
******************************************************
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old
son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
"Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
"Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
"That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said
angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
pleaded the little boy.
"If you must know, I make $20 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said,
"Daddy, may I please borrow $10?"
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 long hard hours everyday and don't have time 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 to 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 He
may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really
needed to buy with that $10 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 $10
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, 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 $20 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 $20 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.
Take care,
NSugi

i love it...
i have been trying to spend more time with my family, but it seems never
enough. lets say i want to spend from the sunset to news time, but i
only could give them 2 hrs or so. (it's less than what i expected).
maybe if the situation in indonesia gets better and more stable,
maybe then the economy will get better, and maybe then i will have more
time to spend with my family. it is all just a big maybe. maybe if the
economy gets better, then maybe people will forget how hard to achieve
it then people will do some self destructive things again to themselves
or ourselves. however, I hope and wish that the situation will get
better and people remember their God and not doing stuff that are self
destructive again. and we all could live happily ever after :)...
mimpi kali yee....
