What
is life?
I have been thinking
for a long time about what we do in our life. We start by being taught in
school, how to become a good citizens. We spend a great part of our childhood
studying. And finally we get the diploma that will ensure us “the position we
deserve”. We participate to increase of unemployment……….until we find a job. Through hard tests we are accepted in the
world of work. We perform a good professional career filled with activity and
efforts……a lot of efforts…….till we fall down exhausted… But we are great
professionals with our valuable market share.
Time keep on passing,
and….we select new targets. We meet the sweetheart of our life, and promise a
never ending love. Passionate hugs and here comes a baby into our home. Dammed
night couldn’t close my eyes. We keep on advancing in the society trying to
make the best of our time. We are the stars. Where ever we go and we are finally
rich, but we need sometime more to triumph completely. O God ! One day they
tell they can do without you. By this time you think getting crazy. You feel
destroyed. You feel you lost means of communication; you realize you are
cut-off from everything. Now time does not pass any longer. Still you are
loosing it. You realize you have been living in the fog, in search of a silly
target. You become walking Ghost. Trying to escape your enemies. You are only
one longing hours to pass till your time comes.
The Bank Account of
Life. Imagine there is a bank that credits our account each morning with Rs.
86,400/- It carries over no balance from day to day. Every “Evening” deletes
whatever part of the balance we failed to use during the day. What we do ? Draw
out every paisa, of course ! Each of us has such a “Bank”. Its name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits us with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as
lost, whatever of this we have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries
over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for
us. Each night it burns the remaining of the day. If we fail to use the day’s
deposits, the loss is ours. There is no going back. There is no Drawing against
the tomorrow. We must live in the present on to-day’s deposits. Invest it so as
to get from it in the utmost in health, happiness, and success ! The clock is
running. Make the most pf to-day.
To realize the value
of One YEAR………… ask the student who failed in his class.
To realize the value
of One MONTH…ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value
of One WEEK……..Ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value
of One HOUR….ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value
of One MINUTE…ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value
of One SECOND…ask a person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value
of ONE MILLISECOND…ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.
The whole life we
accumulated money doing Day and Night job, never worried about our health and losing
our health. Finally retired and whatever we have earned till the end of
retirement is being used to cure our bad health.
We should treasure
every moment that we have. And Treasure it more because we shared it with
someone special, special enough to spend our time. And remember that time waits
for no one. Yesterday is History. Tomorrow is mystery and to-day is a gift.
That is why it is called …………the Present.
Upon
this evaluation, an idea came to my mind on how to improve my life. I will take
things easy. I will try to open my heart to my love. I will listen to the ones
surrounding
