Once there was a child who had just graduated from school to go to town. The main goal to find a job. And of course change the fate. He's just an ordinary farmer's son. Every day he was always accustomed to a very simple life. His parents were too old to be reliable. Finally, before his departure to the city. He also met with his father to ask for advice. "Dad, your son tomorrow morning is going to go into town in search of work. Father would allow me to go ". The man said, "My son, the father can not give any stock? But before you go. Dad wanted to show something to you. "The boy saw his father quizzically. "Is it, father?". The father did not answer. He smiled and said, "Come with me?". Then he was walking. Followed by his son from behind with a question mark.

Apparently they went to the back yard. There was an old tree is very large. He's probably been hundreds of years. They went up. And standing right in front of the old tree. The father then said, "My son let you see this old tree?". The child begins to notice that old tree. He could see only an old tree does not have any meaning. Its trunk is also very difficult to be embraced by relying on his own. It takes three to five people. This tree did not know what types of plants including? That he knew this tree was there since he was little. It could be before he was born. "Dad, I do not see the special of this tree". Replied the boy. The father also slowly begin to approach the tree more closely. And his hands had touched the root of the tree. Then he said, "The tree is so sturdy stand up to the present. And we never take care of. And he grows naturally. When the rain he had become wet. The summer he had a drought. But through the process of rain and drought make him a solid and strong. "

The father looked at his son with a full sense. As he went on to say, "Every time you face the problem when you're in town. Remember this tree? He can pass it well. Although you have a big problem though. It all makes you stronger and tougher. No crashes by a large wind. Rely on the Creator to help your life. If you only rely on yourself and others is only temporary. You are more disappointed. But if you rely on the Creator, you never disappointed. "The father was ending the conversation with the child. The child begins to understand. In the city later that he should be ready to face any difficulty. And only rely on the Creator, he must successfully achieve their dreams.

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 ....
