Quote by Stephen Vincent Benet

Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.

Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, da

Summary

This quote highlights the inherent value of time and how our lives can gradually slip away if we don't make the most of every moment. It suggests that it is not just physical death that robs us of life, but rather the passive and unfulfilling way we often live, going through the motions without being mindful of our actions or pursuing our passions. In this view, life is truly lost in the monotonous and indifferent moments that accumulate over time, emphasizing the importance of living with intention and seizing every opportunity for growth and fulfillment.

In general, the short game has been most effective. Besides working hard on it I always used my imagination with a touch of feel in my hands. You should hit the ball according to what your mind dictates but previously you should visualise the shot. This can be achieved with extremely high concentration. All the difficult shots are hit with the hands. I have hit shots simply by visualising the run of the ball. I had no problem in doing this because my mind clearly indicated I could not miss. I do not stand out any particular shot because it is necessary to believe in yourself to overcome any difficulties.
