One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered: "I saw that we had one cat and they had four. We have a pool that reached to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns into our gardens and they have star at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
"We have a piece of land to live and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
"We have servents that serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but their grow theirs.
"We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

*Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave and impossible to forget.
*You can only go as far as you push.
*Action speaks louder than words.
*The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.
*Don't let the pass hold you back, you're missing the good stuff.
*Life's short. If you don't look around once in while, you might miss it.

The Story Of The Butterfly
A man found a cocoon of butterfly
One day a small opening appeared
He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours
as it struggled to squeeze its body from the tiny hole
Then it stoped, as it couldn't go further
So the man decide to help the butterfly
He took a pair of scissors and
snips of the remaining bits of cocoon
The butterfly emerge easily but
it had a swollen body and shriveled wings
The man continued to watched it
expecting that any minute the wing would enlarge
and expand enough to support the body
Neither happened !
In fact the butterfly spend the rest of its life
crawling around
It was never able to fly
What the man in his kindness
and haste did not understand
The restricting cocoon and the struggle
required by the butterfly to get through the opening
was a way of reforcing the fluid from the body
into the wings so that it will be ready
for flight once that was achieved
Sometimes struggles are exactly
what we need in our lives
Going through life without obstacle will cripple us
We would not be as strong as we could have been
and we will never fly
