Poem of the day

 

Life Is Today

Life is not a long road —
it is one day.

You are born in one moment,
you live in one moment,
and you will leave this world in one moment.

Everything important happens now.
Not yesterday.
Not tomorrow.
Today.

Yesterday is already gone.
You can’t touch it.
It’s only a memory.

Tomorrow hasn’t come.
It’s only a thought.

But today is real.
Today is your chance.
Today is your time.

So don’t say, “I want a happy life.”
That’s too big, too far, too unknown.

Say this instead:
“I want a happy day.”

Because if you learn to live one happy day,
and then another,
and then one more —
you will see that a happy life has already begun.

    Idiom of the day

     

    Idiom: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket"

    🔍 Meaning:

    Don’t risk everything on one single plan, person, investment, or opportunity. If it fails, you lose everything.

    🥚💼 Example in simple terms:

    Imagine you carry all your eggs in one basket. If you drop the basket — all the eggs break.

    So, in life:
    If you depend on only one job, one investment, or one plan, and it fails… you’re in big trouble.

    ✅ Better approach:

    Spread your risks. Have more than one option or backup plan.

    🔹 Examples in real life:

    • Investing: Don’t put all your money in one company’s stock. If it crashes, you lose everything.

    • Career: Don’t rely on just one job opportunity. Apply to several.

    • Travel plans: Don’t book only one bus without checking other options in case it gets canceled.
