LIFE COMES AROUND IN TIME

 LIFE COMES AROUND IN TIME

Time is the most important commodity in life.  Once spent, it is not coming back. It is irreversible.

TIME IS PRECIOUS:

So save it!

Spend it usefully with people you love! 

                           with good people who you need to work professionally!   

                           doing things you love or which matter to you in life!

TIME IS  NOT FOR:

Time is not to be wasted waiting for others who come habitually late!

Time is not to be wasted on people who dislike you, hate you or belittle you!

Time is not to be wasted on slogging out on someone else’s dreams!

Time is not to be spent on the activities of folks who promote themselves for their own selfish needs.

2 recent incidents reaffirmed my belief that life comes around with the time you spent!

1. A B&W photo was taken in 1965 of six people who attended All Souls’ Church including the priest and his wife. ( Only 6 attended the service including the clergy. Attendance was not good even those days 🤪). The other was a young boy of about 6 or 7 years who was accompanying a couple with their 7-year-old daughter.

The young boy, now a retired well accomplished gentleman, with his own family traced with the aid of the photo …the family to Nagercoil and Coimbatore and was gracious enough to meet my mother in law who is 90 years (and she remembered him and his parents vividly). He with his wife also visited my wife and me as she was the little girl in the picture! and remembered even after a period of 57 years with no communication! 

2. Someone who recently consulted me for a surgical second opinion from Trichy casually mentioned the last time she saw me was as a young schoolboy in shorts playing the violin in the evening service in All Saints Church, Trichy on a Sunday evening!

Conclusion:

Good people will remember despite many decades, even small details despite the time spent with us.

We in a short time, may not realise who the good ones are; but in the long term, we do!

We spend our time in life with valuable people who matter to us (and vice versa), our family, neighbours, and friends; let us be good together so that our memories remain pleasant over decades to come!

Though that particular moment in time is gone, 'life comes around in time' alive with such memories!
