WHAT is really valuable in life? I’m just reading a newspaper and came across with a good piece of writing of Philippine Daily Inquirer. A good story which publish by R. Valencia and S. Bismark. Let me share that to you. It’s really nice.
“Once, there was a rich Chinese businessman who enjoyed wearing his gold Rolex watch for everyone to see. One time, he was walking around his factory, then an American employee approached and asked him: “Sir, what time is indicated on your watch?”
“The boss proudly looked at his watch and answered: “My watch says it’s 10 o’clock.” The employee looked at his own cheap watch and remarked, “My watch also says it’s 10. It indicates the same time as your watch.” The employee then walked off with a big smile on his face. The boss was very upset.” When it comes to the value of timekeeping and usage of time, the brand of a watch doesn’t really count.

In another incident, a group of rich Taiwanese businessmen went to South Africa to visit the countryside. The local residents were very impressed with the visitors’ watches, so they kept looking at them. Finally, one farmer spoke: “Oh, you have such nice watches! It’s a pity we don’t have things like that.”
A visitor replied: “It’s true we may have expensive watches, but we don’t have much time. You may not have watches like ours, but you have more spare time than we do.”
Indeed, it’s better to focus on what’s truly valuable in life. So, let us use our time—and life—wisely.
