The
world's largest stockpile of gold can be found five stories underground inside
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's vault and it holds 25% of the world's

most of it belongs to foreign governments. - Provided by RandomHistory.com

Self-Improvement-136: Celebrate this event called LIFE!
As soon
as you die, your identity becomes a BODY.
People use phrases like: BRING THE BODY,
LOWER THE BODY IN THE GRAVE, TAKE THE BODY TO THE GRAVE YARD etc. People don’t even call you by your name whom
you tried to impress your whole life.
Live a
Life to impress the Creator and not the creation.
Take
chances. Spend money on the things you love.
Laugh till your stomach hurts. Dance even if you are too bad at it. Pose stupidly for photos. Be child-like.
Death is
not the greatest loss in life. Loss is
when life dies inside you, while you are alive.
Celebrate
this event called LIFE!
