Priority

In life, we all have various priorities such as education, career, job, and relationships with friends and family. However, amidst the hustle of managing these aspects, we often overlook the most critical factor – our health. In the chessboard of life, our health is like the king. Where the king holds utmost significance, our health plays a similarly pivotal role in the grand scheme of our lives. Much like protecting the king in chess is non-negotiable, prioritizing our health should be a top concern in our daily pursuits.

Recently, I had the golden opportunity to attend an offline meeting with Neeki Ma'am. Despite the excitement and anticipation, my body had different plans. I spent the whole preceding week meeting deadlines for articles alongside juggling my college assignments and presentations, forgetting to take care of my health. Regrettably, I neglected the very thing that should have been my priority – my health. The day before the meeting, as I lay in bed, it became evident that attending the meeting was beyond my physical capacity. It was the price I had to pay for not putting my health first.

Although I missed the chance to be physically present at the meeting, hearing my friends talk about it and reading their wonderful articles made me feel like I was there, as if I had witnessed the event myself. The realization dawned upon me that even without physically being at the meeting, I had learned the most invaluable insight, the significance of prioritizing health in the grand chessboard of life. This experience served as a profound lesson in life – health is indeed wealth.
