Can I Borrow £10?

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 £25 an hour. '
SON: ' Oh, ' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: ' 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 don ' t work hard everyday for such childish frivolities. '
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 £10.00 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 ' 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 £10.00 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 notes. 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 £25 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 £25 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 hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Life

With the demise of a loved one,
with the loss of the most important relationship,
with a shut down from the only source that put food on your table,
with those words of criticism that cut through our skin,
with those sleepless nights drenched in the heavy falls of your heart,
believe and trust that the tears of today don't last forever.
Anything and everything is passéd
Life waits for none.
Take your time to start running your race again,
but don't fail to run.
The sun does not cease to rise,
the waves don't stop lapping,
the stars don't fail to twinkle,
and the animals refuse to stop running for their survival.
Then why should we stop?
the ugly and the beautiful truth of life remains................
it just goes on!!

Father & Son

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his45 Years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window.

The Father asked his Son, "What is this?"
The Son replied "It is a crow".
After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?"
The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow".

After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time,"What is this?" At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. "It's a crow, a crow".

A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is this?"

This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times'ITIS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:- "Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time h e asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child".

While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.

So..If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents. From today say this aloud "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me even since I was a little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me.They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the society today".Say a prayer to God, "I will serve my old parents in the BEST way. I will say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no matter how they behave.

A story tells that two friends
Were walking through the desert
During some point of the
Journey they had an
Argument,
and one friend
Slapped the other one In the face.
The one who got slapped was hurt,


but without saying anything,
wrote in the sand:


TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE .


They kept on walking until they found an oasis,
where they decided to take a bath.
The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning,
but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near drowning,
he wrote on a stone:


TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.


The friend who
had slapped and saved his best friend asked him,
"After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"
The other friend replied
"When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand
where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.
But, when someone does something good for us,
we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.


" LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND
AND
TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE!!!


They say it takes a minute to find a special person,
an hour to appreciate them,
a day to love them,


but then an entire life to forget them.

The only way to lose is to quit.




As long as you continue to make the effort,
you have not lost. Everyone experiences setbacks.

However, winners experience the most setbacks
because winners persist as long as it takes to win.
Does it ever seem that you are
blocked in every direction?

That's the time to get creative, become
more flexible, and open yourself to the
possibilities that are most certainly there.
Sometimes when you get stuck in a rut,
the rut can suddenly and unexpectedly run out.

And what a great opportunity that can be
for you to climb out of that rut, look around,
and see all the valuable things you've been missing.
Never quit. Use each setback, each
disappointment as a cue to push on ahead
with more determination than ever before.

If you Don't want to be Ill

Good Day!

If you don’t want to be ill Trust,

what is Trust? is acceptance of something as true or reliable without being able to verify it.

Who does not trust, does not communicate, is not opened, is not related, does not create deep and stable relations, and does not know to do true friendships. Without confidence, there is not relationship. Distrust is a lack of faith in you and in faith itself.

When trust is betrayed, it hurts deep. It could be something as simple as relying on someone to be a friend who turns out not to be.

In life, we spend a lot of time confiding ourselves to someone else’s “responsible care”. Often that confidence is betrayed because the other person has to serve their own needs. Unfortunately, it’s usually at your expense. It’s hard to swallow that kind of pain, depending on the circumstances.

We all have different levels of trust in life; it comes from some of our experiences. The dramas and heartaches of our lives that have us out in this world playing emotional mental games with one another,

“When you put your trust in someone it means that you expect them to do what they say they will do, which is usually something that you should be doing for yourself. Trusting in someone usually means that there is something they have that you believe you need, or something you have that you believe they can take away to cause you harm. You place your reliance on words or “promised” action”.

When the truth reveals itself, it always does. You become disillusioned. Trust is a precious emotion. There are so many games being played with people’s trust.

Perhaps if we learn how to trust ourselves, we will be in a better position to trust others and rid out of lots of Illness.
I wish you good luck with your Trust

Thank you for reading and have a nice day!
