every one must read this.

Father was a hardworking man who
delivered bread as a 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, Father 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, Father
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, Father 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.
Father’s 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, Father
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 Father had to work on Sundays
entertaining clients. 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, Father’s hard work paid off
again and he bought a beautiful
condominium overlooking the coast of
Singapore. On the first Sunday evening at
their new home, Father 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.
