The Emperor's three questions

One day, my boss sent me this sms "Today's a good day. What's most important? NOW! Who's most important? The PERSON you are with at the moment! What's the most important thing to do? BE CHARITABLE and COMPASSIONATE"

A few days later, he gave me a few pages, seemingly a chapter from a book of a speaker, titled "The Emperor's three questions". (Read it if you can) This story is adapted from a book of short stories compiled by Leo Tolstoy.

I was very encouraged by what it's written.

"If you need to say sorry to your partner, don't start thinking of all the reasons why you shouldn't. Just do it now. The opportunity may never come again. Grab the moment." - NOW!

Give more, expect less. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
