Look, this A4 paper is your whole life, 24 hours times 70 years.
24 hours is the time you get everyday for free.
70 years is an approximately age that you might have.
Now tear away the past time, the one which you can't do anything to change.
I have lived for 20 years. So I tear the part from 0 to 20.
It will become like this. Yours might be different.
Of course you need time to sleep.You have to tear another part away.
I sleep about 7 hours everyday from 22.00 to 06.00. So I tear these 2 green boxes below.
Remember to always have enough time to sleep and healthy lifestyle or your 70 years may be shorter.
Finally, you will have the clear real space of the rest of your time in life to make things. It will be the white square. Cut your precious white square. Compare it to the first paper you have for your whole life.
See, your paper on the right side is even more smaller than you've ever thought.
It's not more than a half of A4 paper.
This pictures you how much time you have for the rest of your life. It is not much.
Now is the time for you to decide who you want to be, what kind of person you want people to see in you?
The time left for you to pursue your dreams is so little.
All you have to do is just do, do , and keep doing.
Just talk less and do more. This is what people mean when they say, "Life is too short."
"Life is too short for complaining, arguing, or even pretending.
Just enjoy and cherish every moment and things you get.
Always believe that each thing has a bright side. And so are you."
Ps. Thanks a lot to my beloved sister. She taught me this when I was down. What a precious lesson.
