I didn't like my father.
He was poor and unsuccessful.
Despite working harder than all my friend's fathers.
I didn't thing he was very smart.
You will be a GREAT MAN! Just Believe! :)
Hey... It's ... It's not for you.
I've never seen him as an inspiration.
Hey! What... What?
We're late for school.
Oh yah... School. Sorry. I'll hurry.
Now here's your pocket money.
Here's a bit of extra.
Time to pay your taxes.
From you.
This is from me.
Why are we not rich?
Who says we're not rich?
Being rich...
is not about ho much...
you have.
But how much...
you give.
Somehow, when you give,
you'll be happier.
I wasn't happy.
I didn't want to be poor like father when I frew up.
I knew I wanted to be more successful than my father.
Call me when you need more money.
Are you coming back for reunion dinner this year?
No, I'm not coming home this year.
Yeah, a new job here. Maybe after the New Year?
We'll see?
I'm really busy now.
Ok, bye.
Thank you for coming, Mr Lin.
I found these letters saying that I've been donating money to the Community Chest.
There must be a mistake.
I'll coplain later. There's someone who'd like to meet you.
Come with me.
Thank you for coming, Mr Lin.
Your father had told us a lot about you.
Your father...
He always made us foget about our problems.
And reminded us about our dreams and hopes.
But the kids here, they all missed him.
He's the only one who could bring a smile to thier faces.
I remember there's this boy.
He was really depressed.
And he didn't go to school.
basically he'd given up on live.
But your father... He read to this boy regulary.
This boy has gown up to be a really useful person.
Your father could have retired comfortably.
He chose to continue working,
so he could help even more people.
He was a selfless man.
It's just that...
He didn't tell anyone about his sickness.
Mr Lim, I've been trying to reach you.
This is for you, in recognition of your donations.
It has my name...
but, I didn't donate.
It's your dad.
He didn't want you to know.
This is from you.
This is from me.
Have a little hope.
You will be a GREAT MAN! Just Believe! :)
On my father's birthday,
I'll celebrate his life
as he would have wanted it.
I could almost hear him say.
Being rich is not about how much you have,
but how much you can give.
