What is important?

George was a driver and he used to spend so much time  

at his work. So he could not have a meal together with 

his wife and three children. In the evenings, he attended 

classes to get knowledge, so that one day it would help him 

to find a better paying job. George‘s family often complained 

that he was not spending enough time with them. But his 

only answer was "I am doing all this for you, I work hard 

to provide my family with the best".

Soon after George had passed his exams, he received 

a good job offer with a good salary, which was higher 

that he had before.

So now George could provide his family with more expensive 

clothes, some luxury items and vacations in foreign countries. 

It was like a dream come true. But his family still did not get 

enough attention from George. Because he continued to 

work very hard and often he could not see his family for 

most of the week.

Time passed and George‘s hard work got good results. 

He was promoted. He decided to relieve his wife from 

domestic works, so he hired a maid. He also decided that 

their flat was not big enough for their family and they needed 

a more spacious one. So he needed to work even harder. 

And he continued his studies, so that he would be promoted 

again.

George worked so hard, that sometimes he even had to spend 

his Sundays with his clients instead of his wife and children. 

And again, whenever family asked for his time and complained 

that they do not spend enough time together, he answered 

"I am doing all this only for you."

Some time later George was promoted, so he could buy 

a very big house with a beautiful view. On the first Sunday 

evening at their new home, George told his wife and kids 

"now I decided not to take any studies and work not so hard, 

so that I can spend more time with our beloved family." 

The very next morning George did not wake up.

.

George could not understand what was important in his life. 

Our family is our heaven. Spending our time with our beloved 

family members give us ultimate happiness.
