Once upon a time in my school...

I asked my students to write a short description to describe Encik Shahier who is a businessman. One of the words caught my heart..let see if u can detect which one..

"Encik Shahier is a successful businessman. He always travels overseas for business trips. When Encik Shahier comes back from overseas, he will go home to visit his family. He has a wife and one son."

Hu..when i read this,i felt sad. Not because the sentence is incorrect but because of that single word. I mean, how many children in this world have parents who are always busy until they can describe parents coming back home as social visits? It is so sad to know that...

Money is important, but so do love...and family...Just think, how far you are willing to sacrifice something to gain something.


(Btw, don't get it wrong. Encik Shahier is just the name of a character and no one's parents ;>)
