A famous writer was in his study room. He picked up his pen and started writing :
✖️Last year, I had a surgery and my gall bladder was removed. I had to stay stuck to the bed due to this surgery for a long time
✖️The same year I became 60 years & had to give up my favourite job.I had spent 30 years of my life in this publishing company.
✖️The same year I experienced the sorrow of the death of my father.
✖️And in the same year my son failed in his medical exam because he had a car accident. He had to stay in bed at hospital with the cast on for several days. The destruction of car was another loss.
At the end he wrote:
✖️✖️Alas! It was such bad year !!
When the writer's wife entered the room, she found her husband looking sad & lost in his thoughts. From behind his back she read what was written on the paper. She left the room silently and came back with another paper and placed it on side of her husband's writing.
When the writer saw this paper, he found his name written on it with following lines :
✅Last year I finally got rid of my gall bladder due to which I had spent years in pain
✅I turned 60 with sound health & retired from my job. Now I can utilize my time to write something better with more #focus and #peace
✅The same year my father, at the age of 95, without depending on anyone or without any critical condition met his #Creator
✅The same year, God blessed my son with a new life. My car was destroyed but my son stayed alive without getting any disability
At the end she wrote:
✅✅This year was an immense #blessing of #God and it passed well!!
The writer was indeed happy & amazed at such beautiful & encouraging interpretation of the happenings in his life in that year
I found this to be. A great story with some key #learnings..
We spend the best years of our lives waiting for a #Miracle when the miracle is #Life itself
We wait for approval,we wait for promotion,we wait for the bonus,we wait for freedom,we wait for a revelation AND in all this,we forget to live
Today, I make this promise to myself. No more waiting. I will live each day like it was the last day of my life. And I will live each day like it is the first day of the rest of my life with no regrets of the day that was..
I will be #Courageous.
Not courageous like a #Soldier under fire, but courageous enough to not wait. Courageous enough to #Live every moment to the hilt.
#Courageous enough to know that the only losses I should fear are the loss of #Love and #Respect, for myself & for those around me.

#TooGoodNotToShare ... #Rule72
What is Rule 72?
In personal finance, if you divide the number 72 by the rate of interest, you get to know the number of years it will take for you to double the money..
Eg: if the rate of interest is 9%, simply divide the number 72 by 9 and the answer is 8. Thus it will take 8 years to double your money if you invest at 9% p.a. rate of interest.
#INTEREST
We can use this rule in reverse to know the rate of interest needed to double your money to achieve your set goal.

The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but it landed on another lady in the group and it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama
The waiter rushed forward to their rescue
In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter
