On material wealth and health from Alexander the Great

It is about getting better...

A mechanical engineer for a multinational company, a kapadyak in biking shared this with me at pm on FB:

Source is Alexander the Great (the great at age 33) conqueror of Egypt, Persia, and rest of Asia

Worth reading and sharing: When you see a man selling handkerchiefs and still sweating profusely in traffic, it tells you that possession is not the same as ownership! Your life belongs to God; you are only having it but you don't own it. So, be careful what you do with your life before the owner asks for it. The last wishes of Alexander the Great......... On his death bed, Alexander summoned his army 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, so they hang 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 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 my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth , will stay 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. We do not take to our grave any material wealth. 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 !. The best present that you can give to your family is your TIME and to God is your LIFE.. May God grant YOU plenty of TIME, to share this important message with all your contacts.

When you feel pain you know you are alive

I just watched a CI movie, X with benefits and there was this scene where the daughter had conversation between daughter and father Tirso Cruz III who had oxygen mask, and was recuperating from a stroke

The daughter was repenting and apologizing to her father for causing the latter pain (he had a stroke after he took care of her because she attempted suicide after breaking off with Derek Ramsey)

The father said that she must change her attitude towards pain.

He recalled that as his daughter was born she was not crying (as is an indication that the infant is alive) and was still.  The nurse slapped the baby hard, once twice.  The father said do not hurt my baby.  The nurse said it is all right to slap the baby sir, to know if she/he is alive.  And on the third try, the infant cried.

Thus he said, you must feel pain to know if you are alive

Disappointed at former engineers who worked with us - are confirmed crooks

When I rode to my appointment this morning, I happened and was happy to know that the driver owner of the van was former engineer who used to work for us.  He is from the Visayas and I just came from his province.

I engaged him in a conversation about the good old days. He does not have good word about the engineer who used to work for us (and who left us because he crossed my path due to dishonesty about work hours, ie not being in a work place and in his sideline line during working hours).  The said engineer left together with a marketing staff for a politician contractor.

He now has a palatial home in an exclusive village at the suburbs and a new SUV wow (His wife I understand who works with the govt is as dishonest as the husband)
