Seneca- Life is long if you know how to use it.
ie- It is not that we have a short life but that we waste a lot of it. and when it wasted in heedless luxury and spend on no good activity, we are forced at last death's final constraint to realise that it has passed away before we knew it was passing.
People are frugal in guarding their personal property , but as soon as it comes to squandeing time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is wright to be stingy.

Learning how to live takes a whole life and it takes a whole life to learn how to die.
By putting thigs off is the greatest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future.
The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs on upon tomorrow and loses today.
The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately
So you must not think a man has lived long because he has white hair and wrinkles: he has not lived long ,just existed long.
Thinks of this when you make plans, when you retire at 65y you will do ......., or when you finish this you will do ........ Do you know any body that only made plans and forgot to live???????
Like to hear your thoughts..........
Thank you
