Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack who worked at an airport on the midnight shift. He was in charge of the airline command center, where he monitored all of the flights coming in and out of the airport.
One night, as he was sitting at his desk, staring at the bank of screens displaying flight information, he noticed that one of the screens flickered and changed. Instead of showing flight data, it began to display images from his past, present, and future.
At first, Jack thought it was a glitch in the system, but as he watched, he realized that the screen was somehow showing him memories from his past. He saw himself as a child playing with his siblings, as a teenager playing in a band, and as a young adult meeting his wife.
As he watched, the images on the screen shifted to show him moments from his present. He saw himself sitting at his desk, watching the screen, and then he saw a future version of himself, gray-haired and retired, sitting on a beach with his wife.
Jack couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He tried to look away, but he couldn’t tear his eyes away from the screen. He watched as the images shifted again, this time showing him a future where he never married, where he never had children, and where he never took the job at the airport.
In that moment, Jack realized that the images on the screen were not just memories but also a glimpse of the different paths his life could take. He realized that the choices he made in the present would shape his future and that he had the power to change the course of his life.
He decided that he would make the most of his time, to not waste it and to make the most of his job and his personal life. He would work hard to achieve his goals and make sure that his future was filled with happiness and success.
From that night on, Jack never took a single moment for granted. He was grateful for his job and the experiences it gave him, and he made sure to make the most of every opportunity that came his way. And although he never saw the screen display his future again, he knew that he had the power to shape it.
The end.
The moral of the story is that the choices we make in the present shape our future, and that we have the power to change the course of our lives by making conscious decisions and taking action towards our goals. It’s also about valuing time and not wasting it.
