History
The last wishes of Alexander The
Great.....
On his death bed, Alexander The
Great summoned his Army
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,
so they hang 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, will
stay 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!
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.
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!
The best present that you can
give to your family and
friends is your TIME.
May God grant US plenty of TIME,
to share with all.
