Summary

This quote emphasizes the unpredictable nature of death, implying that we have no control over the circumstances of our end. However, it encourages us to focus on the present moment and make conscious choices about our lives. It suggests that instead of fixating on an uncontrollable future, we should actively decide how we want to experience and embody our existence starting from now. By embracing this approach, we can empower ourselves to live with purpose, make meaningful decisions, and appreciate the preciousness of every moment.

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half-full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half-empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
