Steemanian friend, when there are many who give up in this life often there are those who remain patient in struggling and living life. Because they believed there would be no wasted life.
In this post I will present a life lesson that seems trivial but so in its meaning and impact. This is the life lesson that comes from the advice of a wise father in understanding the difficulty of being ease and despair into an endless struggle.
A Child Complains to His Father
One day, a child came to his father who was working "Oh Daddy, father" said the boy.
What is wrong? asked the father
The father then sat beside his son and said, let's tell the boy, my father will listen.
"I'm tired, very tired ... I'm tired because I learned to die desperately to get good grades while my friends can get good grades by cheating ... I want to cheat it! I am tired. very tired
I'm tired because I have to keep helping my mom clean the house, my friend has a maid, I want us to have a maid! ... I'm tired, very tired ...
I'm tired because I have to save, while my friend can continue to snack without having to save ... I want a snack continue! ...
I'm tired, because I have to keep my attitude to respect my friends, while my friends just casually behave to me
I'm tired, very tired because I have to keep my tuition to not hurt, while my friend just talking until I get hurt ...
I'm tired of dad, hold back like this ... I want to like them ... they look happy, I want to behave like they're daddy! .. "the child started crying ...
Father's Wise Advice
Then the father just smiled and stroked his son's head saying "my son come along father, father will show you something", then the father pulls the child's hand then they walk down a very ugly and rocky road, lots of thorns, insects, mud, and weeds.
Then the child began to complain "father want where we ?? I do not like this street, see my shoes so dirty, my leg injured by pricked thorns. my body is surrounded by insects, walking is difficult because there are many weeds. I hate this way father. The father is silent.
Eventually they came to a very beautiful lake, the water was very fresh, the air was so cool, there were lots of butterflies, beautiful flowers, and very shady trees.
"Wwaaaah ... what is this place father? I like! I love this place! ". The father just silent and then sat under a shady tree laid by green grass.
"Come my son, sit next to father" said the father, then the child was sitting beside his father.
"My son, do you know why it's so quiet here? but this place is so beautiful? "
"Do not know dad, what's wrong?"
"That's because people do not want to go down that ugly road, but they know there is a lake here, but they can not be patient in walking down that path"
"Ooh ... means we're a patient person, right? Alhamdulillah"
"Well, finally you understand"
" Understand what? I do not understand"
My son, it takes patience in learning, it takes patience in being nice, it takes patience in kujujuran, it takes patience in every goodness so that we get the victory, like the way it was.
Do not you have to be patient when a thorn cuts your legs, you have to be patient when the mud fouls your shoes, you have to be patient with the weeds and you have to be patient when surrounded by insects. And finally it all paid off right? there is a very beautiful lake. If you're impatient, what do you get? you will not get what my son, therefore be patient my son
"But father, it is not easy to be patient"
Dad knows, therefore there is a father who holds your hand to keep you strong. Similarly life, there are father and mother who will continue to be beside you so that when you fall, we can lift you.
But remember my child ... father and mother can not always lift you when you fall, someday, you have to be able to stand on your own, so do not you ever put your life on others, be yourself. A strong religious youth, who remains steadfast and patient, then you will find yourself walking through life when others decide to stop and go home, then you know the end is not it? "
Yes dad, I know. I will get a beautiful paradise that is more beautiful than this lake. Now I understand. Thank you Dad, I'll keep TEGAR when others are EXPECTED.
Father loves you very much my son. If you later become a household leader and a father, then be like the water that is in this lake. So beautiful and clean. It becomes a source of strength and life for whatever is around. This water makes the flowers look so beautiful and so many shade trees here. Be like you later. "BEING A LIFE SOURCE FOR YOUR FAMILY"
Such is the companion of a story that so touches the heart of a father who is so caring and affectionate to his son. Hopefully the story above can provide motivation for our conscience to be meaningful and meaningful to anyone.
