"It all depends on the way you look at things."
One day a father and his rich family took his
son to a trip to the country with the firm
purpose to show him how poor people can be.
They spent a day and a night in the farm of a
very poor family. When they got back from their
trip the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"Very good Dad!"
"Did you see how poor people can be?" the
father asked.
"Yeah!"
"And what did you learn?"
The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at
home, and they have four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the
garden, they have a creek that has no end. We
have imported lamps in the garden, they have the
stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard,
they have a whole horizon."
When the little boy was finishing, his father
was speechless.
His son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how
poor we are!"
Isn't it true that it all depends on the way
you look at things?
If you have love, friends, family, health, good
humor and a positive attitude towards life -
you've got everything!
You can't buy any of these things, but still you
can have all the material possessions you can
imagine, provisions for the future, etc., but
if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing!
