Giving importance to unnecessary things

Guys this is the third article of the series called 'Why people are not happy in their deathbed' if you have not read the first and second part in this series then I suggest you read them first. To go to the first article, click here. If you have already read them then go ahead and read this article.

This is a very important point which was stated by many of the volunteers who were at the last stage of their life. When people are at their deathbed they never wish that they'd be able to spend some more time in their office chair and often regret spending lesser time with their loved ones. They regret not  giving time to things which were important.
But this is all written in books, newspaper and magazines already. So, I will tell you instead how to not waste your precious time on unnecessary things You can do it in the following ways:-
* Living at the present -- This is something that most of the people are unable to do. They either live in the past or dream of the future. Not so smart, right. Keep the thing in mind that yesterday had gone and tomorrow may never come. Live each day beautifully. Because each day is indeed beautiful. Babatunde Olatunji said it so beautifully when he said " Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is mystery, And today? Today is a gift, That's why we call it the present."
* Giving thoughts to things which you can change rather than things which you can't change or don't want to change -- I have often heard people talking about our Education system, political parties, leaders, religions and the list goes on. But I was never able to see any point in talking or giving thought to those things which we can't change or don't want to change. And remember that your thoughts are as important as your time. Do not waste them if you want to be successful in your life. I will give you a personal example:- In my village, I have seen a lot of young boys( not having any job) sitting everyday in the same place , making groups and discussing about the problems faced by India, criticizing every possible aspect they can in every possible way they can. They keep talking the whole day and eventually at dusk, they return to their respective homes. Now I am not saying that you are like them but each one of us play a little of this role. So, next time of you see your friends talking about these things then don't join them or if possible ask them to leave giving thoughts to things which they can't change and then, leap for some real life action.
* Concentrate and give your best in whatever you are doing --  A 10 minutes of study with concentration is better than studying the whole day without concentration. If you do whatever you are doing with your full concentration then I bet that you'll surely be amazed by the accuracy and speed with which you will be able to do that work. To increase your tendency to concentrate on a particular thing, you can try the all in one meditation. But if this doesn't suit you then you have the almighty Google.
