It is a story of a boy whose name was Johnson, who touched great heights of success in his life. He worked hard to earn a reputation in the society and made a lot of money. He inspired many people to achieve their goals and to live their dreams. He had everything money could buy; things that almost everyone wishes to accumulate. His big house was the storehouse of his dreams. He realized his dreams eventually but something that broke his heart was that he could not live the happy small moments of everyday life. He was always running behind his dreams and forgot to make happy memories of everyday life.
Years back when Johnson was in college he decided to take control of his life in his own hands and studied to get a reputed job in the community. His day would begin with thoughts that kept him in high spirits all day long. Instead of having his breakfast with his loving family, he would leave for his college and eat his breakfast in the cafeteria. He would sit in the canteen and that too in a corner table where no one could bother him. He chose not have friends since that in his opinion would have diverted his attention. He would attend his classes and sit in the library until he felt sleepy. In the evening after coming home, he would always deny his mother’s request to take dinner with parents, as he needed to spend some time alone. There were times when he would not meet his father for months. He always thought that after getting a lucrative job he would live life his way. His life was a never-ending race for success and moneymaking.
Time went by. Johnson never let anything keep him from achieving his goals. He loved his parents but thought that he would be having a lot of time to spend quality time with them.
Finally, he realized his dream and got what he had been working hard for; the distinct judge Johnson smith had everything. He decided to take his parents on a long vacation. He had missed so much. He could not believe his eyes when he first had a good look at his mother. She was growing old, her face was full of wrinkles. The day when he went to the office, he was extremely happy since he had already made the reservation for Hawaii. His parents did not know about his plan but they were happy that they could spend time with their son.
When Johnson came back in the evening, he saw that his parents were not home. There were cops all around the place. A group of burglars had killed his parents. Johnson could not believe his eyes. He wanted to tell his parent that three of them were going to Hawaii for a vacation. He wanted to spend each little moment with his loving parents but he could not change his destiny.
His life was full of regrets, a regret that he never gave time to his parents and kept running after his dreams. No doubt, we must follow our dreams and put in our best efforts to realize them but not at the cost of our valuable relationships. Time once gone never comes back and those who do not value time have nothing but regrets in their lives.
