The Meaning of a Job
A young executive was taking an afternoon nap in an open-air cafe. While busy typing on his laptop, it was a little girl who brought some flower stalks approached him.
"Uncle buy flowers uncle? . "
"No, I do not need," the young executive remained busy with his laptop.
"One course, the flowers can be for a lover or wife " teased the little girl.
Half irritated in a high tone for being annoyed by the young man saying, "Little brother does not see Om busy? Sometimes yes if needs to buy flowers from you. "
Hearing the words of the young man, the little girl was then turned to the people who passed around the cafe. After finishing his afternoon break, the young man immediately moved from the cafe. As she walked out she met again with the little flower girl approaching her. "It's done work, now buy this flower dong, cheap one stalk only."
Mixed between annoyance and pity sipemuda took some money out of his pocket. "This is 1 dolar for you. does not want flowers, let's just say this alms for you, "said the young man while handing the money to the little girl.
The money he took, but not to save, but he gave to old beggars who happened to pass around there. The young man was astonished and slightly offended.
"Why did not you take the money, did you give it to the beggars?"
With his innocence the little girl replied,
"Sorry , I have promised my mother that I must sell these flowers and not earn money from begging. My mother always tells me even if we do not have money we do not go to beggars. "
The young man was stunned, how he got a valuable lesson from a small child that work is an honor, although the results are not much but the sweat that dripped from the hard work is a pride. The young man finally took out his wallet and bought all the flowers, not out of pity, but because of the spirit of work and confidence of the little boy who gave him valuable lessons that day.
For some work is honor, for the rest it is money.
