Rich VS Poor

2070 views. 2009-5-20 14:47 |

      One day  a father and his rich family took his young son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show
 him how poor people can be .They spend a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family .When they got back from their trip the farther asked his son ,How was the trip ?"
     "very good ,Dad!"
      "Did you see how poor people can be ?"the farther asked.
       “Yeah!”
       “And what did you learn ?”
      The son answered ,“i  saw that we have a dog at home ,and they have four .We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden ,they have a creek that has no end 。We have imported lamps in the garden ,they have the stars .Our patio reaches to the front yard,they have a whole horizon..
     When the little boy was finishing,his father was speechless.His son added,"Thanks,Dad for showing me how poor we are !"
     Isn't it true that that it all depends on the way you look at things ?if tou have love ,friends ,family health ,good humor and a positive attitude toward life,you've got everything!
   You cant buy any of these things ,You can have all the material possessions you can imagine ,proisions for the future ,etc,but if you are roor of spirit ,you have nothing !

What children said was always true to adults

But after the child grow, his point maybe switch to another. The experience of our life can change our thinking.
But positive attitude is aways the spirit which can lead us go through the difficult situation. it's one of the most precious things of human.

Wow! was that ever an excellent piece of work...haha...I have spent every penny I have ever made for precisely this reason...I had a BMW 318is, I had a minivan and house...I have had 3 wives and at the end of the day the best thing I ever did was go to 20 countries and spend the money

Rich of spirit and material don't conflict with each other.Better gain both.

Yes, maybe what kids said is the truest thing and the most precious fortune, but yet is ignored by adults.
