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 and friends is your 
TIME.

May God grant YOU plenty of  TIME,  to share with all.


We all forward jokes and other messages.


Every living person should read this.
Thanks Bernie
