Tempting Grit...!!

WE THE "PROFESSIONALS"...!

"Hey hii Virat! Yaar mile hue bahot time ho gya.. chal milte hain aaj"."Nahin yaar...Shaam ko ek zaruri meeting hai...Phir kabhi"
("hey hii Virat! Long time! Let's meet today"."Sorry buddy.. i have an important meeting this evening.Some other day may be")
Hey guys!! how are we? I am sure we all will be having plans for today in our minds.
Something like going  for coaching classes, having an appointment related to business or maybe some other commitments..!
Pretty natural isn's it?
But have we ever thought how days pass by without us even realizing it?
Time goes by and we forget one simple thing during all the chores---To live!!!
Passing the time does not always mean "living it".
Office,College,School.. these places have become our world.
During practicing our respective professions do we take time and practice Humanity???


Lets have a look at this story and then i will take your leave for now..
We all would be stunned after reading this...


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 Rs.100 an hour.”
Son: “Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. “Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?”

The father was furious, “This is why you asked so you can borrow some money to buy some nonsense!Go to bed right now. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday”
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.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 Rs.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.“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 Rs.50 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.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied.“Daddy, I have Rs.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.



The story is over friends.
It’s just a short reminder to all of us 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."

The way you are feeling now is the same way i felt after reading this story.And this is how this thought came across my mind.I just wanted to share it with you.Hope you did not feel as if this post wasted your time, after all,our  time is precious...!!
