I was at an event sometime back and the event host shared a story with all of us. He said ” I had an argument with one of my close friends. It turned bitter and we stopped speaking for many days. After a few years, one of my friends advised me that we should set aside our differences and start talking.” While I agreed, my ego didn’t accept it readily. I said “Sure. I no longer have his number. Give me his number, I’ll call him tomorrow and speak to him.” My friend was happy, he gave me his contact number and said “I’ll tell him to expect your call tomorrow. By the way, he’s now working at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai.” There was a terror attack in Mumbai the next day and that friend of mine, whom I wanted to speak to, was one of the casualties.
A lot of times, we procrastinate things that can be done today. For all that you know, there may not be a tomorrow. So, if you want to speak to someone, say something to someone, make someone happy or make yourself happy…do it now, if possible.
What are you thoughts?
