Meet Nathan, he is a multi millionaire man and known as one of the most successful businessman in his country. He owns a several business around the country so people tends to idolize him. But there's a hidden attitude behind those money he have. Because he can definitely manipulate the media, people didn't see the real personality of Nathan.

One time Nathan bought a land in a squatter area. As immediately, he told to his people to demolished the area without giving some prior notice to the people who lives there. Although, he is a right to do that because he is the new owner, the people still got mad on him because he didn't give time to them to find another place to live. Also, there's a kid who approached Nathan to please him not to send them away because his father have a critical condition and he is lying on the room. But Nathan didn't give his sympathy to the lady instead he pushed him while saying " It's not my problem. It is now my land so you better go out here now!". So the people don't have a choice but to leave.

There's also a moment that Nathan was eating in a restaurant and one beggar approaching him to asked some food. But Nathan shouted on him and throw some leftover foods in the face of the beggar. The beggar still eat that food even it is already on the floor just to fulfill his tummy.

Nathan is so successful but his attitude is as rough as a stone. He have no heart for those poor people below him. He always act as if he is the most powerful guy in the world. He doesn't care about others. Money is only matters for him. People idolize him? No, he is only act as a nice guy in front of Television but in reality he is not. All of his actions is only scripted just to show that he is a good one.

But it seems that the karma is still at the corner. His discovered that his only son have a disease and he is in critical condition. Of course as a loving father, Nathan make all the possible ways just to save his son. He used his all money and connection to the point that he also sold all of his property. But it is not enough because although he already used his money, his son is still sick and bedridden. He is so down that time and he don't know what he can do for his son. He don't want to lost his son because it is his life and motivation. But we can't actually tell what tomorrow brings to us. After one week of battling in that condition, his son passed away. He can't really accept that happening but he can't do anything but to move on.

After that, he is nowhere to go. He don't have a house because he is also sold it. His friends also abandoned him because they already know his real attitude before. Everyone already knows what is the real attitude of Nathan. A self-centered and ruthless millionaire before that turns into nobody now. He just walked without a destination. He asked for some help but no one wants to help him. He is so tired so he sit down on the park for the meantime. He heard his tummy that is indication that he is very hungry. He look to his pocket but he only have 1 peso, it is the only money that he have. But suddenly, there's someone who give him a bread. Guess who? It is the beggar that he drove away before. He was surprise to the beggars action but he still eat the bread. The beggar look at nowhere while saying " I hope that now you can realize how hard the life is. I hope you also reflect on the things that you didn't give importance before". Nathan was so speechless because basically he is so guilty about that. Before he used his power and wealth just to be above them. He say sorry to the beggar and the person suddenly accepted the apology.

Nathan continue to walked to find somewhere he can stay. He is so hopeless right now and don't know where to go. But it seems that destiny still give him a chance. " Nathan Velasco ? What are you doing here? What happened to you?" Nathan didn't recognize who's the guy in front of him but he still respond " I have no place to stay in so I look around somewhere". Then the guy said " Follow me". Even he don't know the guy, Nathan still following him because of desperation.

The guy brought Nathan to a big house. No it's already a mansion and Nathan was so surprise on that place. He is very curious why the guy help him.

" Who are you? Why did you help me?" Nathan asked the guy

The guy pointed out the picture behind them. And guess who's the guy? Yes, he is the kid who once approach Nathan when he plans to demolished their home, the squatter area. He his that kid who begs Nathan because of his father's condition.

" Are you bring me here just to slap me the truth that I did you on the past?" Nathan asked with a shocked expression.

" No, I brought you because I wanted to help you. You know what when you demolish our house, you becomes my inspiration. I promise to myself that I want to be like you, rich and successful one but on other hand, I also promise to myself that I don't want to be like you , I don't want to have a rough attitude as yours. My father died after you send away us but I don't feel any grudges on you. Even you didn't asked for, my father and I already forgive you".

The tears suddenly fell down on Nathan's eyes. He can't really imagine that the people who help him was the person he hurts before. He realize that those people have really a golden heart but he didn't see that before because he is so selfish. Just like to beggar, he send his apologies to the guy. But the guy hugs him while saying " You inspired me to becomes successful before so I help you now to stand again and feel the life again. I can be your family now". Then Nathan burst into tears, he regret all of the bad actions he did before. He really sorry and he promised that he would be a good man now.

I make this article just to give some reminders to everyone. Even you are already a successful one, try to be still humble yourself to all. Don't ever think that you are above them because you have the money or power. Just like Nathan , who knows that maybe in the near future we are also asking for other's help so it's better to treat them the way we want to be treated. Remember that money can be depleted, assets can be depreciate but a good attitude is the one that we should not neglect or been replaced. Before you achieve your goals, try to established your good attitude first. Above all, it's the thing that really matters . Let's show goodness no matter what🤗

What a very morale story you have there, we should always be kind to people even we have everything, even we think that we are better and higher than them, we still should show our respect and kindness to people and don't look down on them. Karma is really true so we should be kind enough and don't forget to be a good person. Nice story sis! Instead of plotting a revenge on people who do wrong to us make them an inspiration but be better and good than them don't make the same mistake they did.

This is a typical example of "A GOOD NAME IS BETTER THAN RICHES". It's just like being beautiful without manners, that lady is as ugly as anything.
