It was a gloomy rainy day. Clouds had just spread over the sky & there was absolutley no reason to smile...I decided to the take the subway to my destination . I went down the stairs...I had few reasons to fear, few more reasons to cry and some other to ignore...I was drowned in my foolish thoughts when I heard a homeless man by the station laughing and saying all good thing that had happened to him that day....He said:" If I die today, I'm holding no regrets whatsoever since I had my McDonald's chocolate chip cookie, a grande' French toast latte', and had seen clouds and rain drops once again...Suddenly I felt bad for myself...depreciating what I had , for all I know this respectful homeless man thought me a priceless lesson and that was to value every single precious thing I was given and cherish every moment in my life as if it is my last day in this life...I went back to the street, this time running in the rain and thinking how beautiful was the sky and so few were my mishaps...
