We all have two choices, either to spend life or life spends you. The essence of living is to constantly strive for excellence, to be better today than yesterday. Don't let life spend you, try to get maximum out while you are still living.
I agree with you on the point that we don't need to be rich or famous to have an impact on others. We should try to make our and our fellow beings' lives more comfortable in what capacity we have. Even if we are smiling to someone we are doing wonderfully to impact meaningfully.
In my opinion the best use of time is to spend some quality time with your family. That is the time which we are making very costly while spending it with our loved ones.
Thank you for pointing at the dash that is not really dash but a greatest treasure we have as a gift that should be lived in a positive and meaningful way.
Live a little before its too late to live!
Powerful. Enough said there
