Lessons

Recently 2 Indian staff arrived to sit at the opposite of my desk. One of them got a fever during office hours one day, was unable to work and felt helpless. His family is still in India, he was sent to Hong Kong alone by an Indian software company. Even he is living with another Indian and having some other Indian colleagues, but not family members who can take care about him at the time of needs like sickness.

The other day his fever was gone and he told me that his wife has asked him not to go abroad but stay in India together. However at that time, he wanted to earn more money and insisted to leave. Now he told me that he got a lesson. There is no point to leave the country for money. Money is nothing when one got illness or risk in life because of getting money.

Yes, Jesus has said that If one got the whole world but lost the soul, what does s/he get?!
