父はもちろん約束を守ってくれ、さらには、毎年それを更新してくれたのです。それは、私が自分の人生で受け取った最高の贈り物です。父がそうやって時間をとってくれたおかげで、今の私があるのです。」
A young successful attorney said: "The greatest gift I ever received was a gift I got one Christmas when my Dad gave me a small box. Inside was a note saying, 'Son, this year I will give you 365 hours, an hour every day after dinner. It's yours. We'll talk about what you want to talk about, we'll go where you want to go, play what you want to play. It will be your hour!'"
"My dad not only kept his promise," he said, "but every year he renewed it—and it's the greatest gift I ever had in my life. I am the result of his time."
[From Good Though: Children & Parents 265]
