A king charged his wise men to give him a ‘philosophy of life’ in one short sentence, to be done in gold and hung in every room of the palace. It must remind him of something that would be true and appropriate at all times and in all circumstances.
After weeks of careful thought the wise men offered these words: THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY.
The Monarch was very pleased, and paid each of the wise men a thousand gold coins. The words were well worth the sum to him. They are worth the same to us,if not more, only we can have it for free.
Take these words and write them in letters of ‘gold’ and hang them over your office table, school desk, dressing mirror..Let the words face you when you get up in the morning, and speak to you at every hour of the day, especially as you wake up to each day.
If you are happy, it will make you feel grateful, If you are wealthy it will help you from being wasteful.
If you are in pain it will raise your hopes, If you have failed it will give you more courage.
If you are poor it will keep up your faith, If sickness besets you ti will make you tranquil.
If triumph is yours it will keep you humble.
In joy or sorrow, triumph or trajedy, sickness or health – it will remind you that life is just a passing stage!
You are the day now dawning, the future still to meet;
You are a flower soon to open, a bright new world to greet.
You are the music still unsung, full measure and so sweet;
You are the voyage just begun with the world at your feet.
You have now, you have here! Be of courage and good cheer;
You can live this life without a tear, if you live it without fear!
For the person who has learned to let go and let be, nothing can ever get in the way again.
The best way to light a fire around you is to work with passion in your heart, not with calculator in your hands!
