So much money remains in our bank accounts even after we die — yet, during our lifetime, we often struggle to have enough to spend for ourselves.
The other day, a wealthy man passed away.
His widow inherited 200 crore taka, and soon after, she married her late husband’s driver.
The newly married driver smiled to himself and thought,
“All this time, I believed I was working for my master.Now I see — my kind-hearted master was actually working for me!”
The simple truth is: being healthy and living long is far more valuable than being rich.
So instead of endlessly chasing wealth, we should strive to live a long, healthy, and fulfilling life.
This truth reveals itself in many parts of our lives:
-
70% of a high-end smartphone’s features are never used.
-
70% of a luxury car’s speed is never needed.
-
70% of a lavish mansion remains unoccupied.
-
Most clothes in an overflowing wardrobe are never worn.
-
And 70% of the money we earn throughout our lives will be spent by others — people who might not even spare a prayer for us once a year.
So, what should we do?
✓ Get medical checkups even when you’re not sick.
✓ Don’t overthink everything.
✓ Learn to forgive.
✓ Don’t hold grudges — remember, no one likes an ill-tempered person. Behind your back, people call them “crazy.”
✓ Drink water even when you’re not thirsty — your body depends on it.
✓ Sometimes, even when you’re right, learn to let go.
✓ No matter your age or how busy you are, take your spouse out for a quiet walk or a simple dinner. Let them feel they are your most precious companion — because they’re the one who will truly stand by you in hard times.
✓ Be humble, even if you’re powerful.
✓ Whenever possible, travel with your family — within your country or abroad.
✓ Be content, even if you’re not rich. Remember, many rich people live without peace of mind.
✓ Don’t forget to watch the sunrise, the moon, or the sea once in a while.
✓ Get drenched in the rain at least once a year — and let the sunlight touch your skin daily.
✓ Laugh out loud, sometimes for no reason at all.
Life is only one — so live it to the fullest. 🌅
