It is in the headlines that Communist Icon Fidel Castro call it quits!
Fidel Castro said: "It would betray my conscience to take up a responsibility that requires mobility and total devotion that I am not in physical condition to offer,"
In a message published by the online version of the Cuban Communist Party newspaper Granma, the 81-year-old Castro said he would not seek the presidency again when it is decided later this week.
"I neither will aspire to nor will I accept -- I repeat -- I neither will aspire to nor will I accept, the position of president of the council of state and commander in chief," Castro wrote, almost 19 months after undergoing intestinal surgery and handing power temporarily to his brother Raul Castro.
Fidel Castro by quitting his position of President has a big lesson for you! That lesson is that you cannot do much if you are physically down, if your health is wasting away! It is going to happen sooner or later and no matter what position you are in now, old age or death has no preference! Every one is aging and when you reach certain age, the sickness will come and you will realized that physically there will be a lot of things that you will not be able to do as before and that is why the time to go after your dreams is when you have the physical conditions and the energy to do it now!
Old age, sickness and death is something that every one will face sooner or later and that is why it is so important to have a sense of urgency in achieving your dreams before it is too late!
We will be very concerned and even feel the pain when we see our loved ones aging and suffering from sickness and we know that when a person is sick he has only one wish and that is to get well!
Every day there will be lessons for you and it came come from different sources and every headline has a lesson for you! Here's a story of a man who visited his friend and he noticed on the garden walls of his friends there were Chinese characters and he asked what those words meant and his friend told him it meant "Is is sooner than you think." His friend emphasized that those are words of wisdom that make people think of life and the message is they do not have forever and it may be sooner than they think! His friends who was a workaholic and busy businessman who never had a holiday in his life, got the message and decided he had sacrificed enough of his life for his business, sold it and took a wonderful holiday for the first time in his life with his family!
There was a very popular survey on top executives about their life and their work. It was not surprising that not one said they regretted they didn't spend more time at the office, many regretted they didn't spend enough time with their family.
How long do you think you can live? 80, 90 or 100? How long do you think your health will start failing you? What are you going to do about it? The warnings are everywhere if you are willing to listen.
Yes, there are many lessons you can learn from headlines in the news and if you check yourself and look at how people live you will realize that most people behave as if they are going to live forever and do not realize that the truth is everyone is going to die at 80, 90 or 100 and we must treasure our loved ones, relatives and friends because they are not going to be with us forever!
It is all about cause and effect, your eating and daily habits will determine your state of health. Look at global warming, it is the effects of millions of people activities and that is why many governments are taking actions to reduce pollutions that is contributing to global warming!
Every day there are lessons to learn from headlines and the big question is are you learning? Are you acting on the lessons, do you think you have forever? Do you think you are not going to grow old, fall sick and die? That is the reality of life and there is a wonderful saying that the truth shall set you free!
I hope this article has achieve something by making you more aware of the preciousness of life and how we all can do our part to make the world a better place by facing the truth and understand that basically we are all the same, we all want happiness, good health and prosperity and through this understanding we will be a better person, treat our loved ones, friends and fellow beings better and in doing so we will have more co-operation and peace in the world.
