Life is short

Letters

IT is weird to say that life is too short.
But it does not change the fact that life is short.
Looking at the reality now, one starts his or her life when they were born.
Ten years was spent with parents nurturing.
Another 20 years or more is given to education.
By the time you start to work, it seems that your retirement age is just one step closer to you.
If you are old, turn back, get a binocular and see how far you have come. If you are still young,
do the same but see how far you will go.
A Papua New Guinean’s life span is around 60. Were we born to live this short?
It doesn’t matter how long we live, what really matters is how many times we have made someone laugh.
Many tend to get serious with their lives, and by the time they realised it, it is too late.
Take a break, crack jokes and put a smile on your face.
A certificate is enough to put food on the table.
A degree is enough to have burger for lunch.
Why are we not satisfied with what we have?
This world is getting odder and we all know that but it doesn’t change the diminishing span to live longer.
So enjoy every minute in your life before the bucket breaks.
