Values of life

Book Summary by: Gurpreet Singh    

Original Author: Gurpreet Singh
Values of life
The Value of our life, both to ourselves
and to others, is to be judged not by the number of
years
we live but by the number of great, good and noble deeds we
do in this world. Life does not mean breathing, eating or
just existing because even animals breathe and eat. It
means living in this world with sense of contribution.
Life means action, more action, still more action in the
service of mankind. A lily of a day leaves behind a noble
record of joy and beauty. On the other hand, an oak tree
lasts for three hundred years but at last it falls down,
bald and dry. A man of deeds commands universal homage. A
short life full of noble deeds is much better than a long
existence without any act or real value. So it does not
matter for how many years a person lives. What matters is
how many noble and heroic deeds he has done. We can find
true perfection even in small things provided they are
noble and good. One should do such deeds, which show his
personality not only during his life but also after his
death. There were so many persons in the world, which are
not recognized from their picture but from their deeds. In
the end, my advice is that the person should do such
actions, which differentiate him from animals. The God has
given wisdom to the man to assess the bad and good so one
should use this quality towards the mankind.
