We have one life to do it all in. So many dreams to live. I believe that it is important that I give it my best. It doesn’t make sense to waste time on things I don’t care about, or to take things I care about too casually.
Dilip had once asked participants on a management training programme, “How would you be, if this was your last minute on earth?” To all those who said they’d be the best they could be to leave their imprint behind, his only question was, “How do you know it isn’t?” We don’t know the future and what it brings. What we have in hand, is what we can be sure of. Why not do it to the best of our abilities, while we have the chance?
Live life on full power. Half hearted unfocused attempts are not something we’d like to be known for, no matter how earnestly we claim that we will eventually get back and do it well. The time for that is right here, right now. The time we save in coming back to repeat what we did would be better spent in fulfilling one more dream.
