We Live in Deeds, Not in Years
Amplification: Human
life is very short. But man can add value to it if he makes proper use of time.
By doing frequent good deeds, he defeats the limitation of a short life. For
example, a large oak tree lives for three hundred years. At last it is used as firewood.
A lily lives for a day but it scatters sweet fragrance A lily is far sweeter
than a log of wood. Similarly, a man who performs good deeds lives a better
life. But everybody wants to live long. Even a dying patient hopes to come
round for enjoying a longer life. An old man expects many returns of his birth
day. We all want to live but we do not know why. When a man dies, we feel very
sorry. We think that he/she has been cut off from the world. When a man lives a
longer life, we feel proud of his Old age. The simple joy of living is
considered a sign of happiness and success. The great men like Hazrat Mohammad
(Sm), Jesus Christ, Akbar, Napoleon and Shakespeare did not live long. Of them,
Jesus Christ died a premature death and the others died at the age of around 60
or 50. We remember them for their deeds. The works of great men are eternal. The
men who risk their lives for humanity will always be remembered. But an
ordinary man does not risk his life for others. In our daily life, we praise
pro-active teachers and honest traders
for their good deeds for society. So we can say that we live in deeds, not in
years. It is man's deeds, not age, what immortalizes him through the ages.
