Work hard, Play hard

Thought came 2 weeks after a friend passed away, 31 yrs old, nurse, fellow musician...

I remembered the last word I said to him in earlier week, "You've slimmed down".

Indeed he's slimmed down recently, do a lot of exercise despite heart problem. And gotten heart attack in the middle of the night. Perhaps you'd say he should not do these nor that, but as a health care personnel, he's aware of the consequences.

He'd done what he liked and enjoyed a fruitful life: work hard as a staff nurse, play music, spend time socialising with friends, slim down according to his wish... Perhaps in God's view, he's accomplished his mission and it's time for him to be promoted to heaven.

Nobody is fully certain about the future. Therefore we should spend every moment that we have by playing hard, working hard. After all, we would not regret when our time is due.
