A story caught my eye while i was reading at some blog, I remembered this story my dad used to tell it to me back when i was a kid. Being a spoiled brat in the family, my dad read a couple of life changing stories that resulted me to be someone better than i was before in the future.
This stories can change someone to help them realize about what they have and how to appreciate everything that we got. This story inspired me, and somewhat change a part of my world.
This is a story about a wealth family man who took his son on a trip to the country and show his son how poor country people could be. One day they stayed overnight at a farmhouse of a humble farm.
After their stay, they went back home and the father asked his son what did he think of the trip. his son thought that the trip was surprisingly nice and his dad added that "Did you notice how poor they were." his son agreed and his dad asked again what did he learn from their trip.
Silence stood there while his son was thinking deeply, then his son said. "I learned that we have one dog in the house and they have four. We have a fountain in the garden and they have a stream that has no end.
"We have fancy lanterns in our garden, while they have the stars. Our garden goes to the edge of our yard, but for their back yard, they have the entire horizon!"
This made the father speechless, and the son added "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we really are."
This story reminded me on how to appreciate little things that we have. Real happiness can't be bought, they are just right there in the corner hoping to get our attention. If you want to be happy, you need all those gadgets like the latest laptop, cellphones, or game boy. We should look at our surroundings and see how beautiful the world is, and that surroundings can make us smile for even just a second.
God already made us the things that could make us happy, and its for us to appreciate that little things that can be a very big thing to make our life worth living. Let us be happy on what we have, and that would make us realize that happiness is just right there in the corner, its for us to decide on what to do with it.
