[00:03.62]How Poor We Really Are我们是多么贫穷 [00:07.58]One day a wealthy family man took his son on a trip to the country [00:12.00]so he could have his son see how poor country people were. [00:16.54]They stayed one day and one night in the farmhouse of a very humble farm. [00:21.49]On the way back home at the end of the trip the father asked the son, [00:26.49]"What did you think of the trip?" [00:28.58]The son replied, "Very nice, Dad." [00:31.52]The father then asked, "Did you notice how poor they were?" [00:36.56]The son replied, "Yes, I guess so." [00:40.39]The father then added, "And what did you learn?" [00:44.98]To this question, the son thought for a moment and answered slowly, [00:49.57] "I learned that we have one dog in the house and they have four. [00:54.05]We have a fountain in the garden and they have a stream that has no end. [00:59.64]"We have fancy lanterns in our garden, [01:02.28] while they have the stars. [01:04.45]Our garden goes to the edge of our yard, [01:07.51]but for their back yard they have the entire horizon!" [01:12.10]At the end of the son’s reply, [01:14.60] the rich father was speechless. [01:17.00]His son then added: "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we really are." [01:23.37]Isn’t it true that all depends on the lens you use to see life? [01:28.62]If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude toward life, [01:35.12] you’ve got everything! [01:37.54]You can’t buy any of these things. [01:40.28] You can have all the material possessions you can imagine,provisions for the future, etc., [01:46.62] but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing! |
