Narrated, one day there was a young man who was climbing his career but felt his life was not happy. His wife often grumbles because he feels the family no longer gets enough time and attention from the husband. Parents and big families, even think of her as arrogant and no longer cares about the extended family. The demands of the job make him lose time for family, old friends, even while contemplating for himself.
Until one day, because there was a problem, the young man had to go to one of the company officials at his house. Upon arriving there, he was dazzled as he passed through a neat and beautifully landscaped garden.
"Young man, wait in. There are still some things you must accomplish," the host cried. Instead of coming in, the young man came up and asked, "Excuse me, sir How can you take care of such a beautiful garden while working and making great decisions in our company?"
Without distracting from the work being done, the father replied kindly, "Young man, want to see another beauty? You can ride around this house, but go around, bring this milk bowl, do not spill it, then come back here."
With a little surprise, but gladly, he followed the order. Soon, he returned with relief that the milk bowl did not spill the least. The father asked, "Young man, have you seen my collection of stones? Or met my beloved bird?"
Embarrassed, the young man replied, "Sorry sir, I have not seen anything because of my concentration on this milk bowl Well, I'll go see it."
When he came back from the house, in a tone of joy and amazement he said, "Bapak's house is beautiful, beautiful, and comfortable." without being asked, he told him what he had seen. The father heard with a satisfied smile as his old eyes glanced at the milk in a bowl that was almost gone.
Realizing the father's glance towards his bowl, the young man said, "Sorry sir, enjoying enjoying the beauty of your house, the milk spilled all".
"Hahaha! Young man What do we learn today? If the milk in the bow is intact, then my beautiful house is not visible to you If my house looks beautiful in your eyes, then the milk spills all, just like that life, must be balanced. so that the milk is not spilled at the same time the house is also beautiful in your eyes.Be balanced divide the time for work and family.All back to us, how to share and use it.If we are able to balance wisely, then surely our life will be harmonious ".
Instantly the young man smiled happily, "Thank you, sir. I'm not supposed to have found the answer to my anxiety so far.Now I know why people call you a wise and kindhearted person."
