Work Before You Eat.
"Ah ah, Daddy, can’t I eat first? I’m hungry!" the boy complained, rubbing his stomach. His father shook his head. "Eggs first, food later. You work before you eat." Every morning before school and immediately after returning, the boy had to pick eggs from the poultry house. At first, he grumbled, dragging his feet, but over time, he learned a lesson many children today do not understand—work comes before pleasure. Many young people want to enjoy life without working. They see big cars, nice clothes, and easy money on social media, but they don’t see the hard work behind it. They dream of success, yet they are lazy. But life does not reward laziness. A child who learns to work first before eating or playing will grow into an adult who values responsibility. As the boy picked eggs daily, he started to understand something important—before you enjoy the benefits of anything, you must first put in the effort. The eggs didn’t just appear; they came because the birds were fed, watered, and well cared for. He learned that food is not the first thing to chase; work is. Hard work brings food, not the other way around. Parents who want their children to be responsible must train them early. Let them handle small duties before eating or playing. If they understand that work is a priority, they will grow into adults who do not wait for luck but take action. Wealth, like an egg, must be built before it can be enjoyed.
