SEE WHY YOU NEED TO BE CLOSER TO YOUR FAMILY WHILE WORKING TO MEET THEIR NEEDS.


This an Inspirational Story, a must read to
everyone.

Read This:
Mr. Okon was a very hardworking man who
delivered bread as a means of living to support his wife and three children.
He spent all his evenings after work attending
classes, hoping to improve himself so that he
could one day find a better paying job.
Except for Sundays, he hardly ate a meal together
with his family.

He worked and studied very hard because he
wanted to provide his family with the best money
could buy.
Whenever the family complained that he was not
spending enough time with them, he reasoned that
he was doing all this for them.
But he often yearned to spend more time with his
family.

The day came when the examination results were
announced. To his joy, Mr. Okon passed, and with
distinctions too!
Soon after, he was offered a good job as a senior
supervisor which paid handsomely.

Like a dream come true, he could now afford to
provide his family with life’s little luxuries like nice
clothing, fine food and vacation abroad.
However, the family still did not get to see father
for most of the week.

He continued to work very hard, hoping to be
promoted to the position of manager.
In fact, to make himself a worthily candidate for
the promotion, he enrolled for another course in
the open university.

Again, whenever the family complained that he was
not spending enough time with them, he reasoned
that he was doing all this for them. But he often
yearned to spend more time with his family.
His hard work paid off and he was promoted.
Jubilantly, he decided to hire a maid to relieve his
wife from her domestic tasks.
He also felt that their three-room flat was no
longer big enough, it would be nice for his family
to be able to enjoy the facilities and comfort of a
condominium.

Having experienced the rewards of his hard work
many times before, he resolved to further his
studies and work at being promoted again.
The family still did not get to see much of him.
In fact, sometimes mr. Okon had to work on
Sundays...

Again, whenever the family complained that he was
not spending enough time with them, he reasoned
that he was doing all this for them. But he often
yearned to spend more time with his family.
As expected, his hard work paid off again and he
bought a beautiful condominium the UK
overlooking the coast.

On the first Sunday evening at their new home, mr.
Okon declared to his family that he decided not to
take anymore courses or pursue any more
promotions.

From then on he was going to devote more time
to his family.
Unfortunately, death knocked on his door that
night.
Mr. Okon did not wake up the next day.

Moral:
MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING!!
Learn to spend some quality time with your dear
family, remember, your life is not in your hands.

Always delete your bank transaction notifications, especially SMS...you really can memorize your bank balance....Shred ur POS/ATM receipts.

And made them stand 100 mtrs away. And announced that who ever reaches1st would get all the fruits in the basket. When he said ready steady go.. Do you know what these small children did? They all caught each other's hands and ran towards the tree together, divided the fruits among them and ate the fruits and enjoyed it. When the Anthropologist asked them why u did so? They said 'Ubuntu' meant 'How can 1 be happy when all the others are Sad'? Ubuntu in their language means 'I AM BCOZ, WE ARE!' Let's all of us carry this attitude and spread happiness.
