The Alexander!

On his death bed, Alexander The Great 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 etc.) 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 General 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 all the treasures I have collected so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth, stays on earth.

3. I want my hands to hang outside the coffin, 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.

Remember, all human beings have to bid farewell to this world one day.

We 'Human beings' spend all our 'Time' collecting material wealth even at the cost of relations, but sadly, we do not take any of it with us to our grave.

Let's learn to 'Be human' because only our good deeds can be our travelers' cheques even long after we all are gone.

Being a 'Human being' is good
but
it is better 'Being human'
