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 it is?' 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 $50 an hour.'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

Thefather was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you canborrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then youmarch yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why youare being so selfish... I don't work hard everyday for such childishfrivolities.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

Theman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy'squestions. 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 $25.00 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'vebeen thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man. 'It'sbeen a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25you asked for...'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling.'Oh, thank you daddy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow hepulled 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 $50 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'sjust a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We shouldnot let time slip through our fingers without having spent some timewith those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Doremember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love.


Ifwe die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easilyreplace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leavebehind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

一位爸爸下班回到家很晚了,很累並有點煩

發現他五歲的兒子靠在門旁等他.
,我可以問你一個問題嗎?"
"
當然可以,什麼問題?" 父親回答
"
,你一小時可以賺多少錢?"

"
這與你無關,你為什麼問這個問題?" 父親生氣的說著
"
我只是想要知道, 請告訴我, 你一小時賺多少錢?"
小孩哀求著
"
假如你一定要知道的話, 我一小時賺20塊美金 "
"
" 小孩低著頭這樣回答著. 小孩說
"
爹地, 可以借我10塊美金嗎?"

父親發怒了."如果你問這問題只是要借錢去買毫無意義的玩具或東西的話,
給我回到你的房間並上床.好好想想為什麼你會那麼自私.
我每天長時間辛苦工作著,沒時間和你玩小孩子的遊戲."

小孩安靜地回自己房間並關上門.
這位父親坐下來還對小孩的問題生氣他怎麼敢只為了錢而問這種問題?

約一小時後, 他平靜下來了, 開始想著他可能對孩子太兇了或許他應該用那10塊錢美金買小孩真正想要的,
讓他不用常常要錢
父親走向小孩的房門並打開門

"
你睡了嗎孩子?" 他問著
"
,還沒,我還醒著." 小孩回答著
"
我想過了,我剛剛可能對你太兇了"父親說著
"
我將今天的悶氣都爆發出來了. 這是你要的10塊錢美金"

孩子笑著坐直了起來, "爹地,謝謝你" 小孩叫著
接著小孩從枕頭下拿出一些被弄皺了的鈔票
父親看到小孩已經有錢了,快要再次發脾氣
這小孩慢慢地算著錢,接著看著他的爸爸

"
為什麼你已經有錢了還要要更多?" 父親生氣的說著
"
因為我之前不夠,但我現在足夠了"小孩回答
"
,我現在有20塊錢了. 我可以向你買一個小時的時間嗎?
"
明天請早一點回家我想和你一起吃晚餐.

歡迎您將這個故事與你所喜歡的人分享
但更重要的,與你所愛的人分享這價值20塊美金的時間
這只是提醒辛苦工作的各位
我們應該多花一點時間來陪那些在乎我們、關心我們的人
這些人包括:父母、配偶、子女、部屬...
