Jack used to work hard to be a good provider to his family. Every time his wife and kids ask him to make time for them, he would come up with the same excuse. He would say that he was working hard to give them all the happiness of the world. He would get up early in the morning, go to the office and come back late after midnight when the kids were already asleep. He started a side business also since someone told him that with the profit he could make some good investments for the future of his family members.
Time went by but there was hardly any change in his work routine. He now had started investing in stock market. His kids wanted him to attend the parents’ teachers meeting at school, play with them and give them important lessons of life but he had no time for them. Years passed and Jack made a lot of money. He bought a bigger house where everyone had his/her own separate room, luxury cars and made huge investments to secure the future of his loved ones.
His family had all the worldly possessions of the world but Jack wanted more money. One day when he was having his breakfast his wife asked him, “Why don’t you stop running after money? We have enough for our kids. You must make time for your kids now. There are things that money can’t buy.”
Jack at once replied, “I don’t want my kids to face the hardships of life. I will give them the best of the world.”
A few days later, Jack bought a new car and took his family for test drive. Unfortunately, the car met with an accident and he lost his entire family. This was the end of his greed. He was the only person who could make it. On his way to the emergency room in the hospital, he could still hear the words of his wife.
