We are to seek wisdom and understanding only in the length of days.
We all know we have a prescribed amount of time on Earth. We just don't know how much.
Our time is so specialised that we have people who know more and more or less and less.
It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth - and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.
On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.
Knowledge is the prime need of the hour.
We measure our days out in steps of uncertainty not turning to see how far we've come. And peer down the highway from here to eternity and reach out for love on the run.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
If we attend continually and promptly to the little that we can do, we shall ere long be surprised to find how little remains that we cannot do.
