End of the World

When you go to Grade 1,

you feel like the world is going to end if you do not get a gold star.

 

When you go to High School,

you feel like the world is going to end if you do not get those distinctions in the

Matric Exams.

 

When you go to University,

you feel like the world is going to end if you have to repeat a subject.

 

When you leave University,

you feel like the world is going to end if you do not get that job immediately.

 

When you start a job,

you feel like the world is going to end when you make your first mistake, do not reach that stupid target, or do not get that darn promotion.

 

But when you die.

 

Who will ever discuss or remember your gold stars, matric marks, amount of degrees and qualifications and how well you did your job?

 

No-one.

 

They will think about who you were and how much you cared.

They will remember your heart, and not your worldly performances.

 

So, go ahead - put what matters most first, and get rid of the lies of this world.

Otherwise you will always feel like you are falling short.

 

And life is just too short for that.
