  I think that each person is as a farmer in his life when he farms good things < then he'll crops good things in the second life. and the death is the begining to life. so I think death=life so life=death

  Sorry, The title of the book I am recommending is “Other Plans,” not Making Other Plans.

  As I read the above quote, one word strikes my mind “SERENDIPITY”. Correct me (please), if I’m wrong, but I have the feeling this word and the quote long together.

  Hello Dear Sir,
  He is 100% right. I have always thought this way. I think man spent most of his time planning things for the future and forget about the moment he is living i.e. the present. What the future will bring is in God’s hands despite our plans. So, besides making plans we should enjoy our present moments.
  Do you agree with me?
