About This Quote
When we realize that we are going to die, we can begin to think about how we want to live. We can look at a life of a monk and see how he spent his time. He doesn't worry about money or where he will find a wife when he is old. He lives in the moment and keeps his mind on his goals. By living this way, he has been able to accomplish a lot in life.
