Recognise life’s opportunities

Someone has rightly said, “A day you have lived fully was your day. All other days are simply dates on your calendar.” There are two ways of leading your life. One is to simply pass your time, and the other is to avail of your time. If you live just to pass time, you are simply wasting your life. 

Be grateful for your youth

There is a tradition of the Prophet that appears in several books of Hadith.

According to the tradition, the Prophet said that on the Day of Judgment every person will be questioned about some issues, one of these being how he or she spent his or her youth.

Youth is said to be the best part of a person’s life. That is why we will be questioned specially about it.
