Accept that you will never be perfect

The last words of Steve Jobs, billionaire, dead at 56

"I have reached the pinnacle of success in business." In other people's eyes my life is a success.

However, aside from work, I’ve had little joy.

At the end of the day, wealth is just a fact I’ve gotten used to.

Right now, lying on my hospital bed, reminiscing all my life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth I took so much pride in, has faded and become meaningless in the face of imminent death.

You can hire someone to drive your car or make money for you, but you can't hire someone to stand sick and die for you.

Material things lost can be found again. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost: Life.

Whatever stage of life we are currently at, in time we will face the day the curtain closes.

Love your family, spouse, children and friends... Treat them right .

Cherish them.

As we get older, and wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or $30 watch both give the same time

Whether we have a $300 or $30 wallet or purse, the amount inside is the same.

Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the road and the distance are the same, and we reach the same destination.

Whether we drink a $1000 or $10 bottle of wine, the hangover is the same.

Whether the house in which we live is 100 or 1000 square meters, loneliness is the same.

You will realize that your true inner happiness does not come from material things of this world.

Whether you travel first class or economy class, if the plane crashes, you go down with it...

Therefore, I hope you realize, when you have friends, brothers and sisters, with whom you discuss, laugh, talk, sing, talk about north-south-east or heaven and earth,... this is the real happiness!!

An indisputable fact of life:

Don't raise your children to be rich.

Educate them to be happy.

When they grow up, they will know the value of things and not the price. "

 

WHAT I OWE YOU I CANNOT PAY.

A long-standing couple had lived ninety and seventy together, persevering through every difficulty and reinforced with love like the first day. Having been the strongest of the two, the one who worked hard in the field, the one who always provided, was now the weakest.

She bathed him, helped him put on his clothes and combed him tenderly as if his old husband were a baby. And every time she combed his hair, Don Aurelius always said:

WHAT I OWE YOU I CAN'T PAY!

Augusta, I've worked all my life under the sun, on earth, so that you don't lack to eat, buy clothes and provide you this house. Getting up early to plant and harvest has been all I've ever done to show you all the love I feel and that, even though my heart is old, it's a new love, intact, but... i can't work anymore like i used to. All these seventy years of loving and serving you. If I had to pay you, I couldn't...

-Can you imagine what a doctor earns? ; for that you were with me on the nights I was sick and you got up to attend to me and to take care of me.

-Can you imagine what a laundry lady, a cook, an iron, a seamstress earn? well all that was with me every time you attended this house and me.

-Can you imagine what a teacher earns? for that was with me everytime you taught me things I didn't know or understood.

-Can you imagine what a saleswoman earns? well that was with me every time you helped me sell my fruits and vegetables.

-Can you imagine what a singer earns? well, that was every time you sang in my ear a song that I liked.

-And can you imagine what a lawyer earns? because that was you every time you defended me in front of men the times they spoke slander about me.

-Can you imagine what a rental belly earns? Well, that was you, a blessed womb every time you gave me the children we have today and help us.

-Can you imagine what a nanny earns? well that was you everytime you took care of my kids.. And you still are now that you continue to take care of me, as if I were a child.. With the same love you always cared for me, bathe me, change my clothes and comb my gray hair...

Thank you, Augusta! , for having worked for me so many years without charging me a single weight, and thank you for having done it out of love; because all I OWE YOU, I CAN NOT PAY...

AN INSPIRING STORY

 

He hid for years what he worked so he wouldn't embarrass his daughters

A famous Bangladeshi photographer named GMB Akash told an emotional story about a man he met on one of his travels.

According to reports, his name is Idris, a man who despite his extreme poverty never gave up on the dreams of seeing his daughters with a university degree. Idris worked hard as a sewer cleaner to accomplish his job, though he did it in secret to avoid his family feeling embarrassed.

Idris told his story in a textual way:

I never told my daughters what my job was. I never wanted them to feel ashamed of me. When the youngest would ask me what I did, I used to hesitate to tell her that I was a worker.

Before I got home, I took a shower in public toilets, that way I didn't leave track of the work I was doing. I wanted my daughters to go to school, to be educated. I wanted them to stand in front of people with dignity, that no one would make them bow their heads like they did me. People always put me down.

I invested every penny earned into my daughters education. I never bought a new shirt, I used that money to buy them books. Respect was all I wanted to earn for myself. He was a cleaner.

The day before one of my daughters college admission date, I couldn't afford her tuition. I couldn't work that day. I sat beside the trash and tried to hide my tears. Didn't have the energy to work. All my classmates looked at me, but none of them came close to talk to me. I had failed, heartbroken and no idea how I'd tell my daughter she couldn't afford her college tuition.

I was born poor. Nothing good can happen to a poor person, I believed. After work, all the workers came up to me, sat aside and asked me if I considered them brothers.

Before I could answer, they placed their winnings for the day in my hand. When I tried to reject them, they all faced me and said, 'we will starve today if necessary, but your daughter has to go to college.' Didn't know what to reply I didn't take a bath that day. Made it home like a cleaner.

My daughter is about to graduate college. Three of them don't let me work anymore. My daughter got a part time job and the other three give advice. Regularly, my college daughter drives me to my workplace. Feed My Homies .

They laugh and ask him why he does it. She replied, 'You did not eat that day and so I could become what I am now; pray for me so that I can feed you every day.'

Now I don't feel like a poor man anymore. Who with daughters like this might be!.

Even the most masculine man is heartbroken by this touching story. Have you ever thought about all the things your parents have done for you that maybe you didn't realize?
