After waiting at the door of the emergency room in the hospital for about two hours, I got tired of waiting. I start strolling around and thinking about how my mom is at the moment. Am I gonna ever see her again? I ask myself a question which I couldn' t answer. I found a spot to sit, where people sit to get fresh air and look at the great natural resources the hospital had. Sitting beside an old man in a wheelchair and his grandson, I got carry away by their conversation.
Listen my grandson, said the old man to his grandson. I thought waking up everyday and working money was the most important thing to do in life. Now that I am old, I realized that there are many things worth living for other than just making money. I made the money. I am known almost by all the people in the world. But none of this people really know me because they've seen me only on TV, so they don't have an understanding about who really I am.
My family don't even know me anymore because our longest conversations in the past years has been " good morning. How was your night? Have a good day at work. Welcome back food is ready. How was work today? Good night. As time move to the next second, to the next minute, and until this time ninety percent of our conversation were about work. All I think about now is work since it is the only memory I've got. I wish I had more time with my family and give them the same attention I gave my work. My old age would have been filled with memories of fun things I did with my family. My memories now are filled only with how to make more money and go further. I am not saying working to get money is bad. What I'm trying to say is, do not put all of you in the journey to seach for money. Create time for your family and friends too. The time to make money is also the time to build your relationship with your family and friends, because when that time passes, you will then realizes that there is no more time for you.
There is no more time to make diverse memories.
You have the time now. Now is the moment to go for the money while buildung up a good relationship with your family. Because after is moment, there wouldn't be a reverse botton for you to press on.
I stand up after their conversation, and run to my mom. To see if she is awake and to tell her I will always create time for her no matter how busy I am, because I learned that what is worth, is looking for money while creating time for your love ones too.
