PowerPoint Presentation: The Difference between Rich and Poor “Autumn Rose” by Ernesto Cortazar
PowerPoint Presentation: One day, a very wealthy man made arrangements for his son to spend time at a farm. His express purpose was to show the boy how poor-people must live.
PowerPoint Presentation: On his return, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?" “It was great, Dad." “Did you see how poor-people live?" “Oh yeah," said the son. “So, tell me, what did you learn?"
PowerPoint Presentation: The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
PowerPoint Presentation: We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
PowerPoint Presentation: We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
PowerPoint Presentation: Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
PowerPoint Presentation: We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
PowerPoint Presentation: We have servants who serve us ……….
PowerPoint Presentation: …. but they serve others.
PowerPoint Presentation: We buy our food….. but they grow theirs.
PowerPoint Presentation: We have walls around our property to protect us; They have friends to protect them."
PowerPoint Presentation: The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."
PowerPoint Presentation: Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
PowerPoint Presentation: Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
PowerPoint Presentation: Life is too short and friends are too few.
