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.

How much have I improved in 2013 ( Personal Mastery)

It is about getting better...

January 1, 2014

New year is now 18 hours old.  How fast time flies.  366 days ago we had the same event.  I will soon be 63.

What did I improve last year:

1.  Health and fitness:

     1. I biked many long rides last year.  In January we biked to Baguio from Manila.  This was my 3rd ascent to Baguio, 2x from Manila.  I crashed during my first ride, not in Baguio but all ready in Manila - at Shangrila.  My bike's narrow tires got caught up in grating in the vicinity of Starbucks, I lost consciousness when I feel, and I had an operation to repair my broken nose bridge.  I biked with Recyclists to Tagaytay City (about l60 km) to Ternate  (196 km) and Lemery, Batangas.  These were long and hard rides.  That meant I had endurance.

     2.  I could ride with the peloton riding at 35 km plus.  I developed speed.   I could also ride about 50 km descending.

    3.  Strength.  Now I could ride on heavier gears even climbing hills.  It is easier for me now to use 50 x 15 gears going up at 20+  kph.  Formerly, I needed 34 or 39 x 25 gears to ride up

Your survival manual; survival secrets

From Stansberry Research by Dr. David Eifreg

It has been called the most important book of 2013.  It is very timely with the coming of super typhoon in the PHL tomorrow

             

Tonight, there are a lot of news, that the powerful typhoon Yolanda will make a landfall in the PHL.  It is a super typhoon because it packs winds of over 200 kph and in Samar and Leyte, Signal No 4 has been declared.  There is still the cone of danger and the typhoon may change course and devastate Central and Southern Luzon.  We must be wary.

The book by Dr. Eifreg Doctors Protocol Field  Manual suggests that we are to be prepared for any disaster.  When there is a disaster or any disruption, we must be prepared to be on our own.  With too many needing help, help may not reach us on time, or in right form or quantity.

Survival secrets (in plane travel or in urban areas) and health secrets are enumerated.   So you may get the book, or simply be aware of any crisis.  Be prepared.  Laging handa


             

Sound mind in sound body

From Jorgeusbiker | February 3, 2013

" Mens sana en corpora sano".  Sound mind in sound body.

Health is wealth.  We can not enjoy our wealth without health.

You would spend your fortune to be well, would you not.

It it a must that we keep ourselves healthy:   through diet and exercise.  Exercise lowers stress and one of the requirements of success, or being an executive is strong cardivascular health.

You can't enjoy wealth if you are sickly or dead.

Stay healthy.
