*The last three wishes of Alexander the Great*
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 send this message at least to someone in your family
or a good friend.
