Think to share your time with everyone you love > > A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year > old son waiting for him at the door.

Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said > angrily. > "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" > pleaded the little boy. > "If you must know, I make $20 an hour." > "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, > "Daddy, may I please borrow $10?" > The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can > borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march > yourself straight to your room and go to bed. > Think about why you are being so selfish.

Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home > early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you." > >> kirim bunga ke negara2 di Asia? klik, http://www.indokado.com >> Info balita, http://www.balita-anda.indoglobal.com Etika berinternet, email ke: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Stop berlangganan, e-mail ke: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
