One young man,Cantona Joseph went to apply for position in a media company. He passed the initial interview, and now would meet the director for the final interview.
The director discovered from his CV that the youth’s academic achievements were excellent. He asked, “Did you obtain any scholarships in school?” the youth answered
“no”. Was it your parents who paid for your school fees?” “Yes they paid for my school fees.” he replied.
“Where did your parents work they were enterprenuers and great farmers.”
The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. ” Have you ever helped your parents before?”
“Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Besides, my parents can wash do the job faster than me. The director said, “I have a request. When you go home today, go and clean your parents hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.

The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back home, he asked his parents to let him assist them with manual work at home. His mother and father felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to her son.
The youth cleaned his parent’s hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his parent’s hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother winced when he touched it.
This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that made every effort everyday to enable him to pay the school fees. The bruises in his parent’s hands were the price that his parent’s had to pay for his education, his school activities and his future.
After cleaning his parent’s hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother. That night, parents and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director’s office. The Director noticed the tears in the youth’s eyes, when he asked: “Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?”
The youth answered,” I cleaned my parent’s hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes’
“I know now what appreciation is. Without my parent’s, I would not be who I am today. By helping my parents, only now do I realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done on your own.

The director said, “This is what I am looking for in a Producer/Presenter. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life.“You are hired.”
This young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and worked as a team. The company’s performance improved tremendously.

A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop an “entitlement mentality” and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent’s efforts. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others.

You can let your child live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a movie on a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it. After a meal, let them wash their own plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray.

The most important thing is your child learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done. Teach them the patience to wait for something if money is not enough; work for it. You will have build a leader for the future even if you wont be there to enjoy the fruits of your wisdom.
