What were t
he last wishes of the
Great
Alexander
: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
in the world
to carry my coffin to
demonstrate
that,
in the face of death, even
they
have
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
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.
