STORY OF A PROFESSIONAL

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON: "Daddy, may I ask u a question?"
DAD: Yeah sure, what is it?
SON: Daddy, how much do u 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 u must know, I make Rs.1000 an hour.
SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down. "Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.500?"

The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so u 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.The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs.500. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.

Son: "No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
Daddy:"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on u.. Here's the Rs.500 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.

Son:"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have Rs.1000 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.





It's just a short reminder to all 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 Rs.1000 worth of your time with someone you love.
