OF PERSPECTIVE AND PERCEPTION

One day a father and his rich family took his young son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family. When they returned from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?""Very good, Dad!""Did you see how poor some people are?" 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, while they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden, and they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon. "When the little boy 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!
IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW YOU LOOK AT THINGS
