The secret of life

One day a farmer told his young son the secret of life. ‘Son, the secret of life is that the cow does not give us milk!’ The boy was confused by this unusual remark. ‘Yes son, remember that the cow does not give us milk, but you have to go and get it from her. Remember that you have to get up at 4 in the morning, rain or shine, cold and warm, walk to the barn in the dark, enter near the cows, get the bucket, and start milking for 10 to 15 minutes each cow. . Not to mention the pasteurization involved, the packing, the shipping, the delivery of the milk cartons or bottles....’ This is true, the cow does not present us with a jar of milk, but you either milk her or you’re left without any milk. This generation thinks that everything is given to us, for free. Their mentality is that whatever you need you can get it. They got used to getting what they want without having to work for it. Such is life – you don’t just think of something and you get it, but you have to work for it. Whatever we receive in life should be the fruit of what we work hard for. Happiness is the result of hard work.
