(Read evil effects of late sitting in bank which are given below at foot note )
SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?"
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour."
SON: "Oh! (With his head down).
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $50?"
The father was furious.
DAD: "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"
SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".
DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.
DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?"
SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.
"Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $100 worth of your time with someone you love? If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.
Some things are more important.
LATE SITTING IN BANKS - Evil effects of late sitting
1. First, those who work for extra hours (beyond the prescribed work
schedule) do not receive any worthwhile compensation and are blatantly
cheated by their management.
2. Second, the people will pretend to work in the late hours, but really they
will be wasting their time and precious resources of the institution.
3. The enhanced physical strain and psychological stress will reflect upon
badly on the health and ability of the personnel.
4. Sensitive people will lose their self-confidence and it will hurt their ego and pride.
5. There is also a danger of their being branded as ‘slow, lazy, inefficient and
obsolete’ by the management. It will affect their reputation and career
progression.
6. Late sitting deprives a person of sleep for minimum duration, every day.
7. Late sitting results in accidents inside the office or outside, while on travel.
8. Only during the late hours, conspiracies are hatched, rumour mills are
very active, vilification campaign is at its best, misinformation and canards
are spread and frauds and malpractices are planned and perpetrated.
9. Working overtime deprives employment opportunities for the present
generation youth.
10. Working for long, continuous hours make people very rigid and their
behavior pattern also undergoes a change – from good to bad and bad to
worse.
11. Those who work for extra hours, as proved by many empirical studies,
devise their own compensation package and they try to recover the
difference between the perceived ideal level and the actual level, through
immoral and illegal ways. They indulge in all kinds of activities to the
detriment of their parent organization.
12. At the macro level also, there is no value addition to the national
economy, by asking people to work for long, continuous hours.

i have a doubt that whether this will rich up to those people and will make a effect on them ,but excellent quote sir,
excellent message for all .The story is really good.
This is not a story. But a good lesson for those who are working after office hours. As the Infosys Chief said, those people who are working after the office hours under the guise of hard working, should be sacked. They are simply wasting their energy, wasting the electricity, petrol/diesel, and killing the inner feelings of their family members etc.
An efficient person never feels happy working late hours
