An unwise investment!!!

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 is it?" 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 $20 an hour."

"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.
Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10?"

The father was furious, "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 $10 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've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you
earlier," said the man. "It's been a long day and I
took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $10 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, seeing 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 $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your
time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to
have dinner with you."

Share this story with someone you like.... But even
better, share $20 worth of time with someone you love.
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.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working
for could easily replace us in a matter of days.
But the family & 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. An unwise investment indeed!
