Recently I saw a movie named 'The Ultimate Gift'. It is about how a billionaire teaches his grandson to stand on his feet.As part of his will the rich man leaves instructions to his lawyers that ask his grandson to take twelve tests and pass in each one and only then the contents of the will would be revealed to him.
The first test is to do hard manual labor in fields, next is to survive a month without house and money, then to find a true friend, set up a library for poor village children in a third world country and so on. The guy is mad at his grandfather in the beginning but soon realizes how phony his life had been.
He realizes that the 12 tests were actually a means to introduce him to the gifts of life. The gift of hard work, friendship,family,love,learning,laughter,money.
Sooner or later we all realize the value and importance of these in our life too. I feel that all that is around us, the sunlight, flowers, green grass, cool breeze,knowledge, music, friends, family,love, we don't earn,own or have a right to them. These are actually gifts.
Enjoy them, embrace them,admire them but most importantly be thankful for them.
