"The Final Three Wishes of Greek King of Macedon – Alexander The Great"

The Three Final Wishes of Alexander the Great Alexander was a great Greek king. As a military commander, he was undefeated and the most successful throughout history. On his way home from conquering many countries, he came down with an illness. At that moment, his captured territories, powerful army, sharp swords, and wealth all had no meaning to him. He realized that death would soon arrive and he would be unable to return to his homeland. He told his officers: “I will soon leave this world. I have three final wishes. You need to carry out what I tell you.” His generals, in tears, agreed.

“My first wish is to have my physician bring my coffin home alone. After a gasping for air, Alexander continued: “My second wish is scatter the gold, silver, and gems from my treasure-house along the path to the tomb when you ship my coffin to the grave.” After wrapping in a woolen blanket and resting for a while, he said: “My final wish it to put my hands outside the coffin.” People surrounding him all were very curious, but no one dare to ask the reason. Alexander’s most favored general kissed his hand and asked: “My Majesty, We will follow your instruction. But can you tell us why you want us to do it this way?” After taking a deep breath, Alexander said: “I want everyone to understand the three lessons I have learned. To let my physician carry my coffin alone is to let people realize that a physician cannot really cure people’s illness. Especially when they face death, the physicians are powerless. I hope people will learn to treasure their lives. My second wish is to tell people not to be like me in pursuing wealth. I spent my whole life pursuing wealth, but I was wasting my time most of the time. My third wish to let people understand that I came to this world in empty hands and I will leave this world also in empty hands.” he closed his eyes after finished talking and stopped breathing.

I am a great follower of such a magnificent piece of history which i have shared because it contains some grave truth that will never fade. You need to run after wealth for various reasons which is certain but at a certain point of time is wealth everything a person craves for in this world?There are more important things in this world other than wealth which is "Love" and "Care" and i feel that we will left as a satisfied heart just before our Death if we realize that we have done something for the humanity which bears the testimony that "Love" and "Care" are something in the world which will never end. So i just want to embed one thought in the mind of the readers that think in a different way whenever you have time and think how you can bring a smile to every underprivileged humans around you. Are you going to think along with me? If you really take this step, then please think how you can act accordingly...
