Last day of life

“Life is very precious. Live every moment you come across with zeal and enthusiasm.

Fools are thou who even think about committing suicide. The moment you waste fearing about something, you suffer heavy losses. These are the losses which are almost impossible to recover.

There is much to discover about this illusionary world instead of wasting time mourning over anything futile.”

It was the lecture being delivered by a psychology professor. This word, professor, actually didn’t match with his personality.  A tall heighted guy with perfect physique in his early thirties.

Whole ambience was warm and silence was all around. If one tried to feel the air he would succeed in it.

Everyone was eloped in his lecture. He appeared too clear in his thoughts. It was questionnaire going on and he was flawlessly clearing the doubts of his students.

One among his students asked him a question.

“Everyone says live each day as if it is your last. To me this appears really vague. What should we do to make our life lively? How can we forget the past and not worry about future?

Take yourself as an example and tell me what will you do if you come to know that you are left with one day and one night?“

When the student stopped asking, silence grew more. Air became thick, then thicker and very soon it became as hard as brick.

Professor’s reply was needed to break the silence. He melted the hard rock with his smile and soon it became easier for everyone to breath. That kind of professor he was. He replied in this way-

“Well. This is the toughest question to be asked, an easiest question to be replied, toughest to be applied and easiest to listen.” He mocked as he said this.

Things became more complicated and obfuscate. Up to now, only two words became clear to everyone

‘easiest’ and ‘toughest’.

He continued without wasting time-

“I will do all those things which I haven’t ever due to the misconception that present era is competitive one and I have no time for small things to do.

I will wake up early in the morning with the first ray of sun, watch the sun rising in the east and will glorify its beauty. I will watch it surprisingly that what makes it so beautiful in early morning and too wild in the afternoon.

I will try to feel the gentle breeze which will pass by me. I will stand in my balcony and see the children going to school and recall the awesome days I have spent in my childhood.

I will meet every stair which I haven’t ever in the past several years since I started taking the lift. On my way to school, I will take the longest path which I failed to take in the past because declared that path to be longest and I never had time to verify it. But now I will calculate how much extra time does it needs to reach the office.

In my school, I will greet everyone coming on way. I will shake hand with as many people I can.

At night, I would hold my wife in my arms and will gently kiss her on forehead. I haven’t done it for days because I kept it saved for valentine’s day. I will give the hug my mother that I have saved for mother’s day.

I will make my dad proud by giving few minutes of mine to him which I have never given because I was busy making him proud.

In short, I will do everything very simple which I failed to do because of the complications I added by my own.”

When he finished his say, students started clapping. Every clap was an indication that he was a real guru.

He further added-

“And the most important point is I do all such things regularly. It took several years for me to realize the true facts of life. If I have failed to understand this, I would not have quit my job and still have been working in MICROSOFT”
