A Story of Appreciation

Kasihnya ibu...membawa ke syurga

One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial
position in a big company.He passed the first interview, the director
did the last interview, made the last decision. The director
discovered from the CV, that the youth's academic result is excellent
all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate
research, never has a year he did not score.The director asked, "Did
you obtain any scholarship in school?" and the youth answered
"none".The director asked, " Is it your father pay for your school
fees?" the youth answered, my father passed away when I was one year
old, it is my mother who paid for my school fees.The director asked, "
Where did your mother worked?" the youth answered, my mother worked as
cloth cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his hand, the
youth showed a pair of hand that is smooth and perfect to the
director.The director asked, " Did you ever help your mother washed
the cloth before?" The youth answered, never, my mother always wanted
me to study and read more books, furthermore, my mother can wash
cloths faster than me.The director said, I had a request, when you go
back today, go and help to clean your mother's hand, and then see me
tomorrow morning.
The youth felt that its chance of landing the job is
high, when he went back, he happily wanted to clean his mother's hand,
his mother feel strange, happy but mixed with fear, she showed her
hand to the kid.The youth cleaned his mother's hand slowly, his tear
drop down as he did that. It is first time he found his mother's hand
is so wrinkled, and there are so many bruises in her hand. Some
bruises incites pains so strong that shiver her mother's body when
cleaned with water.This is the first time the youth realized and
experienced that it is this pair of hand that washed the cloth
everyday to earn him the school fees, the bruises in the mother's hand
is the price that the mother paid for his graduation and academic
excellence and probably his future.After finishing the cleaning of his
mother hand, the youth quietly cleaned all remaining clothes for his
mother.That night, mother and sons talked for a very long time.

Ibu..betapa besarnya pengorbananmu.....

Next morning, the youth went to the director's officeThe director noticed
the tear in the youth's eye, asked: " Can you tell me  what have you
done and learned yesterday in your house?"The youth answered, " I
cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining
clothes'The director asked, " please tell me your feeling."The youth
said,
Number 1, I knew what is appreciation, without my mother, there
would not the successful me today.
Number 2, I knew how to work
together with my mother, then only I can realize how difficult and
tough to get something done.
Number 3, I knew the importance and value
of family relationship.The director said, " This is what I am asking,
I want to recruit a person that can appreciate the help of other, a
person that knew the suffering of others to get thing done, and a
person that would not put money as his only goal in life to be my
manager. You are hired.Later on, this young person worked very hard,
and received the respect of his subordinates, every employees worked
diligently and in a team, the company's result improved tremendously.A
child who has been protected and habitually given whatever he did, he
developed "entitlement mentality" and always put himself first. He is
ignorance of his parent's effort. When he started work, he assumed
every people must listen to him, and when he became a manager, he
would never know how suffering his employee and always blame
others.For this kind of people, he can have good result, may be
successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of
achievement, he will grumble and full of hatred and fight for more. If
we are this kind of protective parent, did we love the kid or destroy
the kid?You can let your kid lived in a big house, eat a good meal,
learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass,
please let them experienced it. After a meal, let them washed their
plate and bowl together with their brothers and sisters. It is not
because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you
want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no
matter how rich their parent are, one day their hair will grow gray,
same as themother of that young person.The most important thing is
your kid learn how to appreciate the effort and experience the
difficulty and learn the ability to work with others to get thing
done....
