After posting my last life lesson about not compromising our present excellence for the future, I have received several queries about further elaborating on the idea.
So here are a few examples to illustrate the lesson: Ahmed wants to have excellence in his health in the near future. He is running late for his gym appointment with his gym instructor, speeding and driving recklessly to make it on time. He is compromising his excellence in driving today for his excellence in health in the future. Asad is working hard to establish his company to have excellence in his finances in the future and to be financially independent. Still, as he puts in extra hours, he misses his prayers with the congregation (jama‘at).
I hope I have made the point.
