the speaker paused for a while with a deep breath and said that “Death is not the greatest lost in the life,but what dies in you while you live” A sudden this statement profoundly impressed David’s life,and these words took him to an old memory of his childhood. David’s father met with an accident and died when he was just sixteen years old, the demise of his father lead him to a dilemma and a psychological problem.That time he was looked after by his uncle and finally he was cured totally.
Though he grew up and studied well, he had lost his confidence on God.He did not go to church,did not contact with anyone around him, after that tragical incident. Yet he felt something was lacking inside of him, Then he started to reflect on his past, What made him to be like this and he slowly looked at the cross which was hanged on the wall, and kept silence for a few seconds closing his eyes.
It was a wonder that David began to cry aloud and he said to himself ” How much time I have wasted,How many chances I ignored, my father said me to be stronger and follow your dream though I live or not, but I did not do anything” It was a great repentance, and a turning point was his life. Then he realized that scrolling the phone was not the happiness he intended. Then he started to search more about the speaker and he got a lot of motivational and religious ideas which nourished him. Finally he decided to talk with his own uncle who was calling and texting him for a long time,though he was angry with his uncle he talked him happily.Then he limited the using of the phone which he was addicted.Then he came out from the room started walking along the road with a feeling of a satisfaction.
“Yet it was still a wonder, how he was impressed so much through that 30 second video, which converted him to live 300 years more.’
