Today is better than some great tomorrow

We want to become millionaires, after that, billionaires and at last we spend our remaining time either to earn few billions more or to spend the money to fulfill our wishes.

I always used to think in the similar fashion that I shall earn millions of rupees, build my own empire and donate my earnings to the needy people. To accomplish that I need to study well, get a good job, search and create more avenues to make big bucks. Though this plan of goals seems quite natural, after seeing Raj, I felt I am just seeking an excuse and not helping others.

Raj came to my room and said that he is very happy. When I asked for the reason he said that in the school he saw a 10 year old girl suffering from fever. Immediately he gave hundred rupees to another teacher and told the teacher to take the girl to the hospital, buy the required food and medicine. Next day, the girl came towards him smiling and showed more enthusiasm in the studies.

I learnt that just by giving hundred rupees now (at the right time) is a great help, than to do something after I become a millionaire or billionaire some years later.

If you think about a bucket filled by a water drop by drop ... Its filled by something good today for a greater tomorrow.

Only good today can result to a great tomorrow !!!

Past, Present and Future - All are abstract.
