Money can’t buy happiness
Once upon a time, there was a very well-known business tycoon, James, who was very successful and happy with his life. His Money vanity was well known. He had 2 children, a son, Robin and a daughter, Rani. The tycoon did not have time for his family.
His children were on vacation, and they wanted to go on a family trip. They told their mother about their plan. Mom said she would talk to their father about it when he came back from work. After an hour or so, James came back from work, and their mother told him about the children’s plan to go on a short family vacation. James shouted a loud ‘No!’ He didn’t have time and had to leave for London on a business trip.
Then one day, after returning from a business trip, he came home and his children asked him, ‘Daddy, are you happy with your life?
He replied, “Yes, of course, I am a very well-known tycoon, I have everything I wanted; Name, Fame, Money, Everything I Wished For.”
Then, the Children said. “Okay, daddy! Just tell us how much you earn in a Month.”
James replied, “It’s a big amount, you both are too small to understand.”
“Okay, then just tell us how much you earn in an hour?”
Daddy said, “Why do you both want to know about this?”
Then the children replied, “Please tell us, Daddy.”
He said, “I nearly earned around Rs. 250 in an hour.”
The children immediately ran to their room, brought their piggy bank, and said, ‘You earn Rs. 250 in an hour. But we have Rs. 500, so can you please take this money and spend just two hours with us? Please, Daddy!
James was left speechless.
In the eagerness of earning money and fame, he forgot about his family.
Moral: Your Family Needs You, Your Time. Money Can’t Buy Happiness.
