Stop and smell the roses


The hectic life could be a disaster for a person. We can keep going and make millions dollar worth of money or have thousands of people working for us. I would just like to say that money can't buy health. Money can't buy happiness. Money can't buy long life.

At one point of our life, we shall at least stop and ponder upon what have we achieved. Surely people will start counting their houses, cars and assets in the banks. But how about our own life. Are we happy? Are we contend with our life? Are we ready if today or tomorrow we are no more in this world?

I remember one particular car industrialist in Malaysia. He was successful in life and business. However, life was rather short for him. At 50 plus he passed away of an incurable disease. In within one year after he was diagnosed, he was called to met his Creator. Taking him as an example, I am sure that we should realized that money can't buy health and long life. It's all in God's hand.

Thus, while we still have sometimes in life, stop and smell the roses. We never know when is the last day of our life in this world. Appreciate the life and people around us.

Last year was the last time I saw my grandmother alive. Few weeks before she passed away, was the last time I talked to her.
