" Did You Create Your Own Recesion?"

Perspectives

One day a father and his rich family took his young son on
a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how
poor people can be. They spent a day and a night in the
farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their
trip the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

"Very good, Dad!"

"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.

"Yeah!"

"And what did you learn?"

The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and
they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle
of the garden, they have a creek that has no end. We have
imported lamps in the garden, they have the stars. Our
patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon."

When the little boy was finished, his father was
speechless.

His son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we
are!"

Isn't it true that it all depends on the way you look at
things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good
humor and a positive attitude toward life, you've got
everything!

You can't buy any of these things. You can have all the
material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the
future, etc., but if you are poor of spirit, you have
nothing!
