Good Morning Students – How’re you all doing?

Today, let’s make this class a little more special by not discussing your syllabus or
exams, but discussing a profound topic which everyone can relate with, i.e.
Life. Do you know what life is? How would you define life?

Students, we should all thank God every single day for giving us this life and
another day to work towards our goals. We are all unique individuals and no one is
born like you and no one will ever be, so cherish your individuality. Many times, I
come across people blaming God for things that they don’t have and cursing their
lives, but little do they realize that this life itself is precious if we make it worth
living and work hard.

Life itself is an opportunity to live a meaningful life and enable others to do so. It,
therefore, doesn’t matter for how many years you live all that matters is a quality of
life and how well you live your life. Plus, how many lives you have been able to
touch by giving them encouragement and love.

On the second thought, the fear of death always hovers over our lives. Everyone
has to face death sooner or later, but that doesn’t mean that it should deter us from
living life to the fullest or achieving our goals. A person is wise only when he/she
is prepared to meet the doom when it comes, but till that time enjoys every bit of it.
It is a sense of preparedness. It is a journey in everyone’s life wherein we have to
traverse the bridge of death to be able to wake up to a life eternal.

And believe it or not, but the secret of life is best known to those who are not
attached to anything profoundly so much so that they remain out of touch with
worries as well as shifting fortunes of life. These are the people who do not
measure their lives in terms of materialistic possessions, but by measuring their
lives in terms of people they cannot live without.

Life is also about stewardship, it is being given to us by God in the form of trust
that we will make it meaningful in whatever we can. Such a thought at the back of
our mind will always remind us that we are answerable to God every time, for
opportunities, treasure and talent he has gifted us with.

This is attuned with the words of Jesus, who said, “Man is destined to die once,
and after that to face judgment.” The other truth is that wrong things taking
place in this world will be made right and that God will take care of his children
and good deeds will certainly be rewarded.

It is this thinking that makes life worthwhile and it is with the love of our family
and friends that life can be made beautiful. Life is also made more beautiful and
purposeful by discharging our duties in our family, at work, society and the world
at large.
Thank You!
