A Message from A Mother to Me

One day, a young man rushed into a restaurant because of hunger since early morning had not had breakfast. After ordering the food, a cake vendor boy approached him, "Om (called to someone older than young, this called familiar at indonesia country) buy Om cake, it's still warm and tasty!"

"No Dik (Called to young than old man), I want to eat rice," said the young man refused.

Smiling, the child walked away and waited outside the restaurant.

Seeing that the young man had finished eating his food, the boy came up again and offered him the cake. The young man as he went to the cashier to pay for food said, "No, I'm full."

While continuing to follow the boy, the boy said, "The cake can be made by home, Om."

With pleasure receipt of money. Then he hurried out of the restaurant, and gave the money to the beggar who was in front of the restaurant.

"Om, I'm sorry. Do not be angry. My mother taught me to earn money from selling my own effort, not from begging. These cookies are made by my own mother and mother must be disappointed, angry, and sad, if I receive money from Om is not the result of selling cake. Earlier Om said, alms money, then the money I gave to the beggar. "

The young man was amazed and nodded his head to understand. "Well, how many cakes do you bring? I borong all for souvenirs. "The child was immediately count with joy.

While giving the money the young man said, "Thanks Dik, for today's lesson. Give my regards to your mother. "

Though he did not understand what lessons the young man said, he happily accepted the money while saying, "Thank you, Om. My mother would be very happy, the work of her hard work is appreciated and that is very meaningful to our lives. "

This is an illustration of the POSITIVE and HONORABLE attitude of life struggle. Although they are poor property, but they are mentally rich! Responding to poverty is not by begging and asking for mercy from others. But by working hard, honest, and toiling.

If every human being wants to train and develop the mental wealth in living this life, the sooner or later mental wealth that we have will crystallize into character, and that character will be the embryo of the true success we are able to engrave brilliantly.
