A billionaire passed away at 56 from pancreatic cancer. His final words make us think:
“In the end, money is just a part of life I got used to. But now, lying in bed with this illness and looking back, I see that all the fame and wealth I earned mean nothing when faced with death.
Take care of yourself. Treat others with respect.
The older we get, the more we realize a $30 watch or a $300 watch tells the same time. A $30 wallet or a $300 wallet carries the same money.
Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the road is the same and we reach the same place. Whether we live in a 300-square-meter house or a 3,000-square-meter house — we are just as alone.
True happiness comes from inside, not from things.
If you fly first class or economy, and the plane crashes — you go down the same.
So… remember this: when you have friends or someone to talk to — that is real happiness.”
Five truths to remember:
- Don’t teach your children to chase money. Teach them to seek happiness. Then they’ll understand the value of things, not the price.
- Eat your food as medicine, or one day you’ll have to eat medicine as food.
- People who truly love you won’t leave, even when they have every reason. They’ll always find a reason to stay.
- There is a big difference between being human and being kind.
- If you want to go fast — go alone. But if you want to go far — go together.
