REFLECTION

   I realize
more than ever that everything will come to an end, that every day I
live is a day further from my birth and every breath I breathe is a
breath closer to my death. As certain as we are about the occurrence of
death, so uncertain are we about its timing and we are therefore
instructed, act as if every act could be your last. I recall the
admonition of the Prophet (pbuh) who said; Live as you please, but you
will die some day; love what you have may, but someday you will be
separated from it.What I have is only temporary; my life must end and
all my possessions will eventually be passed on to others. My hopes and
my dreams will fade with my abilities and my days.

Eventually neither my color, nor my gender.. neither my language nor my
position will matter. What will matter the most is not what I studied
but what I have learnt; not who I knew but for what I was known; not
what I memorized but for what I will be remembered; not what I said but
what I meant; not by how I traveled but where I went; not how much I
had but for what it was spent; not what I aspired to but what I
attained; not what I thought but what I did, not what I got but what I
gave; not what I professed but how I lived, and not how long I lived
but what good I did............
