We have been sent on this earth. The time is very short. We have been given a few years to live here. Most of our part of life goes waste. When we are a child, we depend upon our parents. They shall be responsible to give us education, training and then they shall arrange our adjustment in life. Till we are eighteen, we are considered as a minor. Our life starts from 19 years and we can say it shall continue till we are sixty. A period of about forty years remains with us in which we shall have to complete the targets for the completion of which we had been sent on this earth. We may be having so many complaints against our parents who could not give us proper education, proper training and proper adjustment in life, but those days are over and our complaints against our parents shall not bring anything for us. The days are gone and now our parents are old and weak and they are not in a position to amend their weaknesses. Therefore, the people who have been left behind shall have to take their own steps to correct and improve upon those weaknesses which their parents could not give to them.
The time is short, but we are to complete all the targets. If our education was on lower side, we can improve upon it because now so many training institutions, universities and other organizations are there who can help us to improve upon our education and training and we should avail of these opportunities. If our parents could not get a right job for us, we can search a new one as per our qualifications and training. We should try to reach the goals which are in our mind and all these items are to be completed within this short time left with us. We shall be marrying and then we shall be having children and our responsibilities shall increase. We shall require more money in our house. We shall have to construct a house for us and we shall have to give to our children proper education, training and proper adjustment in life and we shall have to keep in our mind that what complaints are in our mind against our parents, those very complaints our children should not have against us.]
We are to live and we are to save to for our old age. If we are not alive to the situations enumerated above, we shall be a failure. Therefore, we should not waste our time. We must be at work and we must be aliveto all the situations facing us. These drugs, opium, wine and company of other women would not solve our problems. We shall have to be active during this span of forty years and therefore, we should never think that this is a very long life and what we could not do yesterday, we shall do today and what we could not do today, we shall be doing and completing the same tomorrow. We must be at work without any further delay.
