"Who is the most important person and the moment of our life that we should treasure the most!?"

I have heard a story today. I would like to share this story.
"Who is the most important person and the moment of our life that we should treasure the most!?" The story goes...

There was a king, who is trying to find out when is the most important moment of his life? and also who is the most important person in his life? Both of these questions bothered him for a long time, until one day, he decided to ask the people in his kingdom if they have the answer and will be handsomely rewarded for an answer, which can satisfy him.

Days after days, many people have tried to present their answer to the king but none could provide the answer that can satisfy the king. Not until one day, where a farmer came to the king and advise him to seek a wise old man, who lives a far distance from the palace. That man could provide the answer that the king has been looking for. The king has no choice but to seek that wise old man for the answer, which has been bothering him for a long time.

Before reaching the wise old man's place, the king disguised his identity as a normal citizen. At the wise old man place, the king asked, who is the most important person in my life? and when is the most important moment in my life? The old man did not answer but, instead ask the king to collect some woods for him to light up the fire. The king obligied and thought that this is to be done in exchange for his answer.

Three days passed, the king still did not get his answer from the old man. He is getting frustrated and intend to reveal his identity as the king. The wise old man answered, YES, i did reveal the answer to you on the first day when you came. The king is puzzled now. The old man goes on to explain... The best moment is life is NOW(present). And the person, who is important to you, is the person, who is sharing this moment with you.

From the story, we know that we can't change the past and we can't predict the future, we can only treasure the VERY moment which we have, which is NOW(present)! If we just let the present slip away that would be the past. We can only control the present and the best moment is the time, when you are sharing that with someone.

I hope that this story can let you understand the importance of present. Life is full of mysteries, no one knows what is going to happen next. What we can do now, is to enjoy the present!

Please feedback on your experience on this story!
Hope to see you again!
