This is another anecdote. Unlike the other one, this shows how we can be discontended even if we are so fortunate:

Two businessmen met in the street. One was looking so sad, so the other person asked why:

“Well, three weeks ago, an uncle died and left me with $50,000″, the sad fellow said.

“That’s not bad”, said the busnessman.

“Yes, and two weeks ago, a cousin I did not know had an accident, and I found out he left me with $20,000.”

“So what is the problem?” the businessman queried.

“Well, that’s not all. Last week, my grandfather passed away, and left me with $500,000.” said the sad fellow.

“I still don’t see the connection. why are you so sad then?”, ask the friend.

“Look. The week is almost over… And so far - nothing! Nobody died!”

Got this anecdote to share: This illustrates how the kid appreciates what the parents do.

Two kids were talking to each other. One says, ” I’m really worried. My dad works twelve hours a day to give me a nice home and good food. My mom spends teh whole day cleaning and cooking for me. I’m worried sick!”

“What have you got to worry about? Sounds to me you are so fortunate?”

The first kid says, ” What if they try to escape?”
