It isn't a pleasant thought, but we all know our time here is not unlimited. When a manufacturer gives his product a lifetime guarantee, he is counting on the fact that that does not mean forever. When our time comes, God willing at a ripe old age, we will likely review the time we spent on this planet. I wish I had spent more time studying Torah. Why not change now.
Work is important.
Our tradition values an honest day's work. It is how we provide for our family and you want to give your children what they need. But wait - stop and think what they need most. Is it another thing, or is it you. A young woman was climbing the career ladder at a furious pace, but it did not come easily or cheaply.
