We seem to have lost our ability to spot the right direction
A young man who excelled academically wanted to apply for a management position in a major company.
He succeeded in his first personal interview, during which the company director conducting the interviews completed his last interview and make the last decision.
Looking at the biography of the young man, the company director found that he was fully academically superior from high school until graduating from university,
He never failed!
The principal asked this distinguished young man, "Did you receive any scholarships during your education?" The young man replied, "Never."
The principal asked, "Was it your father who pays all of your tuition fees?" The young man replied:
"My father passed away when I was the first year of my life. It is my mother who took care of all my education expenses."
The director asked him: “Where did your mother work?
The young man replied: “My mother was washing clothes for people.”
Then the director asked him to show him his hands, and he showed them both
If two Kevin Naamtin and Rgiqtin.
The director asked him, "Did your mother ever help you wash the clothes?" The young man replied: “Never, my mother always wanted me to study
And I read more books, plus it washes much faster than me anyway! ”
The director said to him: “I have a small request .. which is to wash your mother’s hands as soon as you go to her, then come back to see me tomorrow morning.”
It was then that the young man felt his chance to get the job was imminent
Indeed, when he went home, he asked his mother to let him wash her hands, and he showed her optimism about the job
The mother was happy with this news, but she felt strange and mixed feelings for his request, and yet she gave him her hands.
The young man began to slowly wash his mother's hands, and his tears were falling as they looked.
It was the first time that he noticed how curly her hands were, and he also noticed some of them
The bruises that used to make the mother shiver when touching her water!
This was the first time that the young man realized that it was these two hands that were washing the clothes every day
So that he could pay his tuition fees.
And that the bruises on her hands are the price she paid for his graduation, scientific excellence and his future.
After he finished washing his mother's hands, the young man quietly washed all the remaining clothes for her.
That night the young man spent with his mother in a long conversation.
The next morning, the young man went to the company’s manager’s office with tears in his eyes. The director asked him:
"Can you tell me what I did and what I learned at home yesterday?"
The young man replied: "I washed my mother's hands and also washed all the remaining clothes on her."
The director asked him about his feeling of sincerity and safety, and the young man replied:
First: I realized the meaning of gratitude. Without my mother and her sacrifice, I would not have been what I am now of excellence.
Second: By doing the same work that she was doing, she realized how arduous and stressful it would be to do some work.
Third: I realized the importance and value of family.
Then the director said:
“That's what I was looking for in a manager who would give me this job, someone who appreciates helping others
He who does not make money his only goal of his work ... You have been hired, son. "
Later, this young man worked hard and won the respect of all his aides.
All the employees worked with dedication as a team, and the company achieved a resounding success.
the lesson:
A child who is being protected, pampered, and accustomed to getting everything he wants,
He is raised on a (entitlement mentality) and puts himself and his desires above all else.
He will grow up ignorant of the efforts of his parents, and when he is involved in the work and career sector, he expects everyone to listen to him.
When he takes over management, he will not feel the suffering of his employees and get used to blaming others for any failure he faces.
The kind of people who might excel academically and achieve good successes,
Except that he lacks a sense of accomplishment,
Instead, you see him as grumpy, hate-filled and fighting for more successes.
If this type of child is raised, what do we mean? are we protecting them or destroying them?
You could make your son live in a big house, eat fine food, learn the piano,
He watches TV programs from a large display screen.
But when you are cutting the implants, please let him try that too.
when he is done eating, let him wash his dish with his brothers.
Not because you can't afford to pay a maid, but because you want to love your children the right way.
Because you want them to realize that - despite their parents' wealth - the day will come when they turn gray
Just as it happened to the mother of the young man.
The most important thing is for your children to learn gratitude, experience the difficulty of work, and become aware the importance of working with others so that everyone enjoys the achievement.
