Time is Precious - Decide How You Want To Spend It

 

Precious Time

With a timid voice and idolizing eyes, the little boy greeted his father as he returned from work, "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

Greatly surprised, but giving his boy a glaring look, the father said,
"Look, son, not even your mother knows that. Don't bother me now, I'm tired."

"But Daddy, just tell me please! How much do you make an hour, " the boy insisted.

The father, finally giving up, replied: "Twenty dollars per hour."

"Okay, Daddy? Could you loan me ten dollars?" the boy asked.

Showing his restlessness and positively disturbed, the father yelled, "So that was the reason you asked how much I earn, right? Go to sleep and don't bother me anymore!"

It was already dark and the father was meditating on what he said and was feeling guilty? Maybe he thought, his son wanted to buy something.

Finally, trying to ease his mind, the father went to his son's room.
"Are you asleep, son?" asked the father.

"No, Daddy. Why?" replied the boy, partially asleep.

"Here's the money you asked for earlier," the father said.

"Thanks, Daddy!" rejoiced the son, while putting his hand under his pillow and removing some money. "Now I have enough!! Now I have twenty dollars!" the boy said to his father, who was gazing at his son, confused at what his son had just said.

"Daddy, could you sell me one hour of your time?"

Time is too precious to spend it all on work!
Appreciate your love ones and don't take them for granted.

You are.....

You are…

When you take your grief and teach it to smile.

When you overcome your fear and help others

To do the same.

 When you see a flower and are thankful

 For the blessing.

 ... You are loving ...

When your own pain does not blind you

To the pain of others.

 ... You are wise ...

When you know the limits of your wisdom.

... You are true ...

When you admit there are times

You fool yourself.

... You are alive ...

When tomorrow's hope means more to you

 Than yesterday's mistake.

 ... You are growing ...

When you know what you are                                                                                       But not what you will become.

... You are free ...

When you are in control of yourself and

 Do not wish to control others.

... You are honorable ...

When you find your honour is to honour others.

... You are generous ...

When you can take as sweetly as you can give.

... You are humble ...

When you do not know how humble you are.

... You are thoughtful ...

When you see me just as I am and

Treat me just as you are.

... You are merciful ...

When you forgive in others the faults

You condemn in yourself.

... You are beautiful ...

When you don't need a mirror to tell you.

... You are rich ...

When you never need more than what you have.

... You are you ...

When you are at peace with who you are not.
