Now the Story

The story starts out with a very rich and wealthy family that lived in an upscale neighborhood next to the countryside.  One day the father took his young son on a trip out into the country to visit a farm. He took him there to show him how the poor people lived. The two of them spent several days on the farm with a low-income family. At least that was their perspective about the family.

After several days on the farm, they returned home. One day while back at home, the father asked his son, “So what did you think of our trip? Did you see how the poor people lived? What did you learn?”

The son responded, “It was great Dad. Yes, I did. I saw that we have a cat and a dog, but the people on the farm had many cats and dogs. I saw that we have a swimming pool in our garden and a trampoline and lovely deck for parties, but they have fields that seem to have no end and a creek that flows into a lake. We have electric lights in our back garden, and our patio extends around the side of the house and to our neighbor’s wall, but they have all the stars in the night sky, and they have the whole horizon.”

“We have a large home on a small plot of land, they have the farmhouse, and many outbuildings and rolling fields that go beyond our sight. We have a housemaid and a nanny to help us, but they all help each other. We buy our food from the local food stores; they grow their food on the farm.”

The father was quiet. Then his son said, “Dad, thank you for showing me how poor we are!”

Isn’t perspective grand?

The Moral of the Story

Now is the time to have an honest and sincere look at your own life and your own business if you have one. Are you so busy trying to get to the next goal, or to the next level in your business that you haven’t realized how fortunate you are? Or stopped to be grateful for what you have already?

Measure your life not by what you haven’t got or what you haven’t achieved, but instead by what you have. I can’t remember who wrote this and it’s probably not accurately quoted: “Pity he who owns the world, but sacrificed his soul.”
