STOP AND THINK When it is time to die, let us not discover that we never lived. (Henry David Thoreau, 19th century American author and philosopher)
Simply adding months to months and years to years is merely existing, not living. Learning, doing, achieving—these are the elements of life that make it worthwhile, both personally and to others. At the end our works will be judged, and no one wants to look back to see nothing of value accomplished.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:10)
