Touching story that will change your life

One young man went to apply for a managerial
position in a big 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".
Who paid for your school fees...?
" Parents ", he replied.
"Where did they work......?"
"They worked as clothes cleaner.”
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 wash the
clothes ?"
"Never, my parents always wanted me to study and
read more books.
Besides, my parents can wash clothes 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 dejected.
When he went back home, he asked his parents to
let him clean their hands.
His parents felt strange, happy but with mixed
feelings,
They showed their hands to their son.
The youth cleaned their hands slowly.
His tear fell as he did that.
It was the first time he noticed that his parents
hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many
bruises in their hands.
Some bruises were so painful that they winced
when he touched it.
This was the first time the youth realized that it was
this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday
to enable him to pay the school fees.
The bruises in the hands were the price that the
parents had to pay for his education, his school
activities and his future.
After cleaning his parents hands, the youth quietly
washed all the remaining clothes for them.
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 parents hand, and also finished
cleaning all the remaining clothes'
“I now know what appreciation is.
Without my parents, 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 And I have come to appreciate the
importance and value of helping one’s family.
The director said,
"This is what I am looking for in a manager.
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.”
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.
If we are this kind of protective parents, are we
really showing love or are we destroying our
children instead...?
You can let your child live in a big house, eat a good
meal, watch on a big screen TV.
But when you are cutting grass, please let them
experience it.
After a meal, let them wash their 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 grey,
same as the parent of that young person.
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...

Love your parents
