Og Mandigo wisdom and a poem. The value of a good life..

The value of a good life..

I was asked by a desperate man. “Why do I live? If I wasn’t born. Would it matter?”

I told him the story I learn from a great motivator/speaker and writer  of life. “Og Mandigo”

There was a rich man who had everything he wanted. He missed two things only. Happiness and laughter. He went to Og and asked him. Give me one reason to live and have purpose. I will give you a million dollars if you show me. Oz took the rich man to the graveyard. The rich man asked. “Why did you bring me here?” Og smiled and told the man. These people are dead. They don’t have opportunity to do anything good or bad. If you are alive and breathing. You can do great things. The rich man looked at Oz and told him. “I understand” and walked away  out in silence.

Og Mandigo showed this man. We decide our journey till death end the opportunity to know some sort of peace or happiness.

I believe we are what we leave behind. Our children are the real gold of a life and they are are our true wealth. A wise leader once said. Children are the wealth of a nation. Teach them well.
