RTF Ebooks: Free ebook sample of "Stupid and Rubbish" by Apoorve Dubey

Introduction

Stupid and rubbish, would you like someone to say that about you? The answer is probably not. But the fact is a lot of us spend our lives doing stupid and rubbish without ever realizing it. Life is short. It is made even shorter because of the speed at which we live our lives. We rarely get time to think and reflect about ourselves. The world existed before you were born. The world will exist even after your death. It is scary to think about it, but death is our ultimate destination. We may not realize that we are racing towards it. Have you ever thought what difference does your existence make to the world? It is a question that has always fascinated me. I believe we ought to leave behind something that outlasts us. Otherwise, what else was the need of our existence for a brief period? Life is an opportunity for us to create something that outlasts us; an indelible footprint in the sands of time by contributing something that makes the world better than before.
