A little story

shaoshuai_dl

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the <br>
country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. <br>
<br>
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be <br>
considered a very poor family. <br>
<br>
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip? <br>
<br>
"It was great, Dad." <br>
<br>
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked. <br>
<br>
"Oh yeah," said the son. <br>
<br>
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father. <br>
<br>
The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. <br>
<br>
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a <br>
creek that has no end. <br>
<br>
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. <br>
<br>
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. <br>
<br>
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go <br>
beyond our sight. <br>
<br>
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. <br>
<br>
We buy our food, but they grow theirs. <br>
<br>
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them." <br>
<br>
The boy's father was speechless. <br>
<br>
Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are." <br>
<br>
Too many times, we forget what we have and concentrate on what we don't have. What is one's person's worthless object is another's prize possession. <br>
<br>
It is all based on one's perspective. <br>
<br>
Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for all the bounty we have instead of worrying about wanting more. <br>
<br>
Take joy and appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends! <br>
<br>
Please pass this page on to friends and acquaintances to help them refresh their perspective and appreciation. <br>

"Life is too short and friends are few" <br>
