গল্পঃ Every time I eyed a toy displayed in a toy shop when I went shopping with my mother, I wanted to get it. Not always my mother would nod in the affirmative. Upon her refusal to get me the toy, I would nag until either I was finally given the toy or I gave it up altogether after a spell of futile tear shed. Sometimes, I ended up with my heart smashed into pieces, unable to get the thing I wanted. But as I grew older, I realized that behind every NO of my mother lied an untold story– a story of responsibility, a story of sacrifice, a story of putting family needs over lavish desires. With time, I began to realize too that every single taka she saved was not out of whim but out of her careful calculation–choosing between wants and needs, sometimes at the cost of her own happiness. It was my mother who made me realize that money is limited, no matter how rich you are, so it should be spent wisely. Ever since, I became a good saver of money.
