Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 Dear all ,, Please read the following story.It is so intresting luv, rukmaniLIFE IN PERSPECTIVEOne day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live.They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, " How was the trip? " " It was great, Dad. " " Did you see how poor people live? " the father asked. " Oh Yeah " said the son. " So what did you learn from the trip? " asked the father.The son answered, " I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden andthey have a creek that has no end.We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.We buy our food, but they grow theirs.We have walls around our property to protect us -they have friends toprotect them.With this the boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, " Thanks, dad,for showing me how poor we are. " Too many times we forget what we have and concentrate on what we don't have.It is all based on one's ATTITUDE.And remember:It is our attitude and not aptitude that determines our altitude in life.ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING _______________IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
