A Box Of Kisses

Ehem... I have stare to the monitor for quite some times but couldn't find the right words to start my rant today since I am kind of free. I didn't realize that I have zoned out until my hand-phone rings. Oppps, hubby called to inform me that he will arrive in 20 minutes to fetch me out for lunch. Mean I only have 20 minutes to type down my rants! 

Okay, since today is Friday and last working day for this week, I thought (earlier) I am  not going to ruin anybody weekend mood by writing something teary-dreary. However, I don't have time to elaborate any idea that lingered in my mind so I decided just to share below motivational story, again from academictips.org

Some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” He was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty.

He yelled at her, “Don’t you know that when you give someone a present, there’s supposed to be something inside it?”

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said,”Oh, Daddy, it is not empty. I blew kisses into the box. All for you, Daddy.”

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.

It is told that the man kept that gold box by his bed for years and whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us as humans have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, friends, family and God. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold. Often enough, in our effort to achieve all of those temporary fame and wealth, we hurt our loves one feeling especially our kid, parent and even our sibling and only realize what they mean to us when it's too late.. I know the feeling of guilt and regret over neglecting/hurting the one who close to me.

So, treat your love one nicely so that you won't live with the same guilt and regret I feel and believe me that your life will much more meaningful. Spend time with your family, kid, parent or even your sibling because in the moment of difficulties they were the 1st person you will turn to for encouragement..

GEEEZZZZ.. Time's up! Need to fix my make-up because hubby will be here in any minutes.. Have a nice Friday and blasting weekend!
