THE SON WHO TAUGHT EVERYONE A BIG LESSON!"

"THE SON WHO TAUGHT EVERYONE A BIG LESSON!"

His father was an accountant in a big reputable organization in Nigeria, his father was very wealthy.

His father had three children, two girls and one boy. The boy was 11years when he first travelled abroad. His father used to take his family abroad on vacation every year and spent a lot of millions just for them to catch fun and enjoy life.

The second year when the father was preparing them for another vacation overseas, the boy at the age of 12years told his father that he wouldn't go with them.

'Why son?!'

The Dad asked.

"I don't feel like going Dad...."; the son responded.

"Dad!!! How much does it cost you for my vacation?"

'=N=1.4million'; his Dad answered.

"Dad!!! Am not going, open a savings bank account for me and put the money there"

'Why and where did you gotten this brain from and for what..?'; Dad asked.

"Well Dad, when I grow up, I am still going to be going abroad as much as I wanted, so, why going every year when I can still go by my self in future when I have saved more than enough for myself....?"; the son protested.

'Fine!!!'; said his Dad.

The third year, the boy refused to go. His money was credited into his account.

The fourth year, the same story.

The fifth year, the same story and his Father said, 'I can't fix =N=1.4million in your account this time';

The boy told his father, "Please let's negotiate, how much can you afford?"

'=N=500K'; his father thundered.

"Dad!!! Please don't scream at me, give me =N=750K please....!"; the son pleaded.

'Agreed!!!&; his Dad nodded off.

After fourteen years that his family had been traveling abroad, a problem aroused in his father's office which made his father went bankrupt and was in desperate need of N5million to solve the problem and secure his seat.

Even his wife couldn't help; she was a wife who spent everything on anything!

The two daughters were spoilt children who could eat anything eatable with any resources available to them; they were BIG for nothing except food!

The father became depressed and frustrated!

Then, the boy walked to him and said; "Dad, what's the matter?"

The Dad narrated everything to him, and the boy said, "Dad, give me your account details"; by then, the boy's account balance was around =N=11.6million!

The boy made a transfer of =N=7million into his father's bank account; the father almost fainted!

The mother, in great confusion' questioned the boy from where he got all the money from?!

The boy simply asked his mom, "how many years have you been traveling abroad up an down?

The mother said, 'Fourteen years!'

Then, the boy said, "I saved my own money for traveling abroad for fourteen years!"

The mother knelt down and said, "Oooh my lovely son!"

The father said, 'Ney, is my own loving son, the blood of my blood!'

The mother said, "Yes!!! He is your blood, but I trained him!"

When the boy graduated from the college, his father made all efforts to secure a good job for him in a reputable organization.

Train your children to be an asset and not a liability!

We are living in a world now, whereby, children will graduate from the university and still be depending on their parents for sustenance!

Parents, please note that your children are watching you and 40% of their characters will be what they have learned from you!

I repeat.... Train them, properly and appropriately, in the time of plenty such that when the unimaginable scarcity comes, they will be capable of helping you!

Train them very well!!
Grateful heart.
