It’s with much joy and pleasure that I share with you in this wonderful community my extraordinary poem.

I hope I will be considered when awards are to given to my fellow steemians.
What cancer thought me!
The world is full of surprises. Life in a human makes them think everything is permitted until they find out they are dying. We are so much into the world that we have indeed forgotten we will die one day. How human it is that we are born into life that promised us death but yet we get so irresistibly attracted to it so much that we have forgotten death?
If we could have a conversation with a deceased person, we could realize what we are doing is a harm to us. Many have died with their plans. Many are peaceful on their way to making them work. But have life guaranteed that if you work hard enough you will see the fruits of your labor?
We use all our lives to school and never utilized time just to look at how beautiful life is with friends. Not that I’m against schooling but there is a saying “We don’t learn just for school but for life.” Most of us have abandon the last part. We school to get rich but not to better our thoughts for better living.
When they say everything comes with advantages and disadvantages, I say yes. When I analyze Covid-19 with lockdown for almost a year, I have seen what I have been lacking. I schooled all my life, and I only have two days for myself. But within that period, every day was a holiday of which I used that to learn “Life will never stop moving.
There is nothing like a resting spot till you are dead. Is either we start living now, or we die existed. Because most of us just exist rather than living. There is more to life than saying you will enjoy it when you grow old.” Life isn’t promised so better start enjoying it now.
“Don’t wait till you are dying to start living” Take this statement significant and convey it with you. When people realize they are suffering from cancer, then they abandon all unnecessary things, family gets closer to the person and try creating paradise for that person. That person’s time might be known to be short, but who assured you that you won’t die before him or her.
All cancer patients are those who really enjoyed life before dying. Do you know why? Doctors give them a time frame. They know its short and they start doing things that are great and will make life memorable even after their death.
They implement the dreams they believed could have waited several years before. Ultimately, they see what Allah wished for us to see before our death. Why wait till you are dying to start living? Start now!
We are casing our dreams and saying we will make it in the future. Create the riches or wealth you need because money can never satisfy a human. We are human and we will always want more. What makes you successful is obtaining happiness. Find happiness and you can consider it your success.
Cancer is deadly, but I can say people with it are the most successful people of the world. They find happiness before they die. As I already said, don’t wait till you are dying to start living. Start by finding whatever that makes you happy and then you cling unto it.
Life is shot, let’s start living now…..
