About this Quote

This quote by Stephen Vincent Benet is a pointer that life is precious and also must not be taken for granted. It recommends that life is not lost in one huge occasion, however rather in the little, seemingly trivial minutes that compose our days. It is simple to get captured up in the ordinary tasks of everyday life as well as forget to value the appeal of life. The quote encourages us to take a go back and also identify the value of each moment, regardless of just how tiny. Life is as well brief to waste it on the little points that don't matter. Rather, we should concentrate on the minutes that bring us happiness as well as make us feel alive. Life is a precious present and ought to be valued every minute of on a daily basis.
