$100 per hour

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"

DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?"
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you
ask such a thing?"

SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how
much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour."

SON: "Oh! (With his head down).

SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $50?"
The father was furious.

DAD: "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
hard everyday 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 about 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:
Maybe there was something he really needed to
buy with that $ 50 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.

DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"

SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".

DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard
on you earlier. It's been a long day and I took
out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50 you
asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling.

SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"
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.

DAD: "Why do you want more money if you
already have some?"
SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I
do.
"Daddy, I have $100 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'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. Do remember to share that
$100 worth of your time with someone you
love? If we die tomorrow, the company that we
are working for could easily replace us in a
matter of days. But the family and friends we
leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of
their lives. And come to think of it, we pour
ourselves more into work than to our family.
Some things are more important.
