Can I borrow $25?

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?'

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 $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'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
$25 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 $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'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 $50 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.

Well, this story really touches my heart, deeply indeed..
I hope everyone in the world would always think of your beloved ones, just spending a little of time with them would never get yourself into trouble or killed..

Oh yeah, final exam has finally come to an end.. All things which burdened me most of the time before are finally gone.. I totally feel relaxed now.. When I even accidentally recall those moments during exam week, I will just be like.. hmm.. thinking that was so incredible! I couldn't imagine how I was able to strive for and cope with the exam.. However that was just what I gotta pay for being lazy.. xD If I were working hard before the exam, I wouldn't fall into such an "extreme" situation which had led me to a life of hell during exam weeks.. haha..

Well, now the exam was just over.. I can do whatever now.. I will do all things which I could not do during the exam.. Just like? Dota! Sleeping! MSN-ing and many more! I was just suffering from loads of burdens as though I gotta stay in hell for punishments.. Well, now I wouldn't wanna think of the results of final exam that I would get afterwards.. That ain't making me feel well.. LoLx I should think of the things that I can do now in order to make me totally enjoy my three-month holiday! xD

Hmm, I ain't sure what I wanna do during holidays yet.. Perhaps I will be looking for a job out there.. Any job that probably suits me will do.. = = Hope so..
