FOR FAIR USE AND EDUCATION AND DISCUSSION PURPOSES



What our TIME on this earth is spent on reveals what we love the most. We can't get more of it when it's gone, and we can't re-use what we've already wasted. And each day we live is all the time we have. Tomorrow may never come for some of us. Use it wisely today!

Another incredible piece of wisdom "dropped" into my mailbox today, and it's well worth sharing:


The last wishes of Alexander the Great:

On his death bed, Alexander summoned his generals and told them his
three ultimate wishes:

1. The best doctors should carry his coffin;
...
2. The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones.) should
be scattered along the procession to the cemetery.

3. His hands should be let loose, hanging outside the coffin for all to
see!!

One of his generals who was surprised by these unusual requests asked
Alexander to explain.

Here is what Alexander the Great had to say:

1. I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to demonstrate that, in
the face of death, even the best doctors in the world have no power to
heal;

2. I want the road to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees
that material wealth acquired on earth, stays on earth...

3 I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand that
we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty handed
after the most precious treasure of all is exhausted, and that is TIME.

4. We do not take to our grave any material wealth . TIME is our most
precious treasure because it is LIMITED. We can produce more wealth, but we
cannot produce more time.

5. When we give someone our time, we actually give a portion of our life
that we will never take back. Our time is our life!

6. The best present that you can give to your family and friends is your
TIME.

*May God grant you plenty of TIME and may you have the wisdom to give it
away so that you can LIVE, LOVE and DIE in peace*.
