While at the park one day,a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground."That's my son over there,"she said,pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide.

"He's a fine-looking boy,"the man said."That's my son on the swing in the blue sweater."Then,looking at his watch,he called to his son."What do you say we go,Todd?"

Todd pleaded,"Just five more minutes,Dad.Please just five more minutes."The man nodded and Todd continued to swing to his heart's content.

Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his son,"Time to go now."Again Todd pleaded,"Five more minutes,Dad.Just five more minutes."

The man smiled and said,"OK."

"My,you certainly are a patient father,"the woman responded.

The man smiled and then said,"My older son Tommy was killed by a drunk driver last year while he was riding his bike near here.I never spent much time with Tommy.I've vowed not to make the same mistake with Todd.He thinks he has five more minutes to swing.The truth is that I get five more minutes to watch."

Life is all about making priorities.What are your priorities?Give someone you love five more minutes of your time today!

就五分鐘

有一天，公園里一個女人挨著一個男人在游樂場旁邊的一條長椅上坐下來。“那邊那個是我的兒子。”她指著一個身穿紅色厚運動衫正在滑滑梯的小男孩說。

“他是一個漂亮的男孩，”男人說，“那個穿藍色厚運動衫蕩秋千的是我的兒子。”說著，他看了看手表，朝自己兒子喊道：“我們走，你說怎么樣，托德？”

托德央求道：“就等五分鐘，爸爸，就再等五分鐘。”男人點點頭，托德繼續(xù)盡情地蕩著秋千。

時間一分鐘一分鐘地過去了。這位父親站在那里，又朝兒子喊道：“現(xiàn)在該走了吧。”托德又央求道：“再有五分鐘，爸爸，就再等五分鐘。”

男士微微一笑說：“好吧。”

“哎呀，你的確是一位有耐心的父親。”那位女士說。

男士微微一笑，然后說道：“我的大兒子湯米去年在附近騎自行車時被一個醉酒司機撞死了。我從來沒有花多少時間陪伴湯米，我發(fā)過誓不在托德身上犯同樣的錯誤。”

生活中的任何事都有輕重緩急。你會優(yōu)先考慮什么事情呢？把你今天的時間多給你愛的人五分鐘吧！
