Just before he died,
Alexander convened his generals and told them his last three
wishes:
1 - That his coffin SHOULD BE carried on the shoulders
and transported by the best doctors of the time.
2 - That the treasures he had conquered (silver,
gold, precious stones), should be scattered on the path to
the grave site, and ...
3 - That his hands should be dangling in the air,
outside of the coffin, and in view of all.
One of his generals, astonished
by these quite unusual desires, asked Alexander about his reasons.
Alexander explained to him:
1 - I want the most eminent
doctors from the land to load my coffin to show that they did not have the power to heal in the face of death.
2 - I want the ground to be covered by my treasures
for all to see that material goods conquered here, cannot be taken, so, also remain here.
3 - I want my hands to be swaying in the wind, so
that people can see that just as we came here with empty hands, we leave too with empty hands, when we are ending the most valuable treasure, which is our
time.
When dying you can take no material
with you,
"Time" is the most precious treasure
that we have because it is limited. We can produce more money, but not
more time ...
When we dedicate time to a person, we are giving him a portion of our life that we can never recover, our time is our life.
THE BEST GIFT you can give someone is your TIME and always give it to your
family or a good friend.
Take
the time to share this blog-post at least to someone in your
family or a good friend.
