13. Money can’t buy everything

A rich man was retiring when an angel of death came to him. He had worked long and hard to attain considerable wealth and retire in luxury, and could not believe that his time was up. Being a very rich person, he decided to buy some more time from the angel of death at any cost. He negotiated for a long time but the angel was unaffected.

Hopelessly, the rich man made the last proposal to the angel… Give me just one hour of my life, so that I could appreciate the beauty of this earth for the last time and spend some time with my family and friends whom I haven't seen for a long time and I will give you all of my wealth. But the angel spurn again. Finally, the man asked if the angel could give him at least one minute so that he could write a goodbye note. His wish was approved and he wrote a note….

"Spend your time, which was given to you, in the right way. I couldn't buy even an hour of life with all of my wealth. Listen to your heart and check if the things surrounding you have a true value. Cherish every minute of your life.”

“You aren’t wealthy until you have something money can’t buy.” - Garth Brooks
