Kids Need Love

A father just came home from work. His son was waiting for him at the door. As he came in, his son asked “How much do you make an hour, daddy?” Being tired from work the man was very angry that his son had asked him this. He said “Your mother doesn’t even know that!” “But please daddy, how much do you make an hour?” The man said “Fine, I make Rs 1000/- an hour.” Hearing that the son left the room. After some time, his son came back to him and asked, “Daddy will you please give me Rs. 100/-?”But he was too tired to do anything. So he just told his son to leave him alone.

That night he felt bad for the way he treated his little boy. So he got out of bed and went to his son’s room. The boy was still awake. He went over to him and gave him the Rs. 100/- he had asked for. Immediately the son picked up his saving box, took out all the money from it and kept everything on his daddy’s hand. The man didn’t understand what’s going on, so he asked his son, “What’s the matter son?” His son replied,” Daddy I want to buy one hour of your time.......”

!!! Have you hugged and spent time with your child today? !!!

Excellence

A German once visited a temple under construction where he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying nearby. Surprised, he asked the sculptor, "Do you need two statues of the same idol?" "No," said the sculptor without looking up, "We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage." The gentleman examined the idol and found no apparent damage. "Where is the damage?" he asked. "There is a scratch on the nose of the idol." said the sculptor, still busy with his work. "Where are you going to install the idol?"

The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar twenty feet high. "If the idol is that far, who is going to know that there is a scratch on the nose?" the gentleman asked. The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman, smiled and said, "I will know it."

The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone else appreciates it or not. "Excellence" is a drive from inside, not outside. Excellence is not for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction and efficiency...

Read... Think... Act... & Excel.....
