Read this interesting story. An emperor is seeking answers to three questions:
1. What is the best time to do each thing?
2. Who are the most important people to work with?
3. What is the most important thing to do at all times?
A wise sage answers:
1. There is only one important time and that is Now. The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion.
2. The most important person is always the person with whom you are, who is right before you, for who knows if you will have dealings with any other person in the future.
3. The most important pursuit is making that person, the one standing at your side, happy, for that alone is the pursuit of life.
Nice thoughts :).
