At
the beginning of life, we hope for longevity. At the end, we notice its
brevity. For some reason, we never get satisfied with the time of life
we live on earth. At least that's the general feeling of the bereaved. Anyway, what is long life with
no relevance to the society? And is life really short or does death
catch us by surprise?
I'd
be easily convinced if I was told that there isn't a single
key task in the late Nelson Mandela's to-do list that hasn't been performed. He lived his life to the maximum. He left a legacy that everyone
wants to emulate. I pray that the same becomes of me and you. That our lives may not be a matter of inhaling and exhaling
but of resourcefulness
and giving back to the community.
Life
is a drama, a movie and you're the main actor. Unfortunately for you,
there's no rehearsal, so you've got to do your best right from the start.
Fortunately enough, you can make mistakes and start all over again, not
from the top, but from where you went wrong.
Each new day is a new
opportunity. A new chance to prove to yourself and to the world that
you've got what it takes to do what your heart desires. To be who you
want to be. To defy the odds and change the course of your life. Like the sun, even though you go down
and it looks like you're no more, wake up the next day and brighten up
the world.
