A Little Girl and The Golden Box

In a poor family, a father looked annoyed at his daughter who was three years old. His daughter had just spent the money to buy gold wrapping paper to wrap a gift box.

The next day, the girl was given the gift as a birthday gift to his father.

"This is for dad," said the girl child.

The father was so angry. But when he opened the box and get it empty, the burst of anger.

"Do not you know, if you presented a gift to someone, you have to give an item in this box!"

The little girl looked at him with tears in her eyes. She said sobbing, "Oh my father, actually I've put something into the box."

"What you put into this box? Did not you see this box empty? "Shouted his father.

"Oh dad, really I have put nearly a thousand kisses to my father into the box," whispered the girl.

The father was shocked to hear her little girl. He then hugged tightly to her daughter and apologized.

It is said, people tell me that, he always put a gift box is on the edge of his bed until the end of life. Whenever he experienced disappointment, anger or a heavy burden, he thought there were thousands of kisses in the box that reminds her daughter love.

And indeed we have received a gold box filled with unconditional love from parents, wife / husband, child, spouse, friends and our friends. Nothing is more beautiful and valuable in life than love.

Why do people want children? I thought so. Are not children just added hassle?

A family with children may be the reasons vary. I think the level of their expectations to the child were also different.

The lowest level, I think, are those who have kids just to feel normal life like everyone else. If you have a family, it was supposed to be a child. If not there, yes .. means less normal, not like other people generally. That's about the way some people look at this level, the child is seen as an event through which it should be. Mediocre.

The second level is higher are those who view children as property. Usually their goal is to get children the joy and pride. Elated has a funny toy, yes son it. Also proud that his son good-looking, or high achievers. 's Worth to be proud of. Son is entertainment. People at this level want the child just have fun on the side, just happy-happy. Difficult matter, please handled servants. When children get older, it makes more, I'll have a small and cute anymore.

The third level are those who see children as a preparation in the old days. This more advanced thinking, would not we be getting older, who will take care of us? Son is insurance. Children who work and succeed, which is usually observed is the result of the money, is the guarantees to avoid suffering in the old days. That's why a lot of parents who encourage their children to school and work success. Children's success parents come guaranteed? Children are an investment. Son is insurance.

Highest level are those who view child is a charitable fields. Same with the third level is looking at children is insurance. The difference is, at the level of the three children is seen only as insurance in the world, while the fourth level of the child is seen as insurance in the afterlife. Only some people truly realize that the child is the most important insurance that will provide uninterrupted charity when the parents have died. Of course it happens when the child is a child who pray for righteous parents. At this level parents to educate their children in order to focus on a righteous child who gave his life so that benefits are to their parents.

We should be people on the fourth level.

Apparently so does the money.

There are people who look for the money only as a normality of life. Live ya ... for the money. No work, it was not so human. Work it'll be normal, can live like other people in general.

The second level is to look at money to find joy and pride. Usually the money is used for the fun day. Insights on very short of money, yes money is used. Enjoy it ....

The third level is the view money as a preparation for the future. They think about money so that at a difficult time in their old age already have preparation. Money they had planned As with the insurance world.

Well, of course, the fourth level are those who see money as a way of charity. The money is seen as insurance for the afterlife. Through the money they can save as much reward for dead stock.

We should be people on the fourth level.

We should look at kids and money at the highest level of expectations, the savior of our lives, both in this world and the hereafter ....
