* Worth reading📚!

The marble sculpture of Moses by Michelangelo, created from 1513 to 1515, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing human anatomy.

Notably, the tiny muscle in Moses' forearm,
which only contracts when lifting the pinky,
is visibly tensed in the sculpture.

This attention to anatomical precision
highlights Michelangelo's mastery.

Last three wishes of Alexander The Great :

When Alexander The Great, after conquering kingdoms returning to his country, he fell ill that led him to his deathbed.

He gathered his generals and told them :

“I will depart from this world soon,
I have three. wishes,
please carry them out without fail.”

The king asked his general
to abide by these last wishes:

1) The Greek king of Macedon said,

“My physicians alone must only carry my coffin.”

2)

“I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be filled with the wealth that I collected,” the king said.

3)

“My third and last wish is that both my hands
be kept hanging out of my coffin,” Alexander said.

The generals agreed to abide by their king’s last wishes and asked him the reason for doing so.

Alexander said :

“I want the world know
the three lessons I have just learnt.”

The king interpreted his wishes and continued;

“I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor on this earth can really cure anybody. They are helpless in front of death.”

Describing his second wish, the king said:

“I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people know that wealth is nothing but dust.” Thirdly, I wish people to know that I came empty handed into this world
and I will go empty-handed.”

🐝Honey has no expiration date.

🐝The bodies of the great emperors of the world were buried in golden coffins and then covered with honey to prevent putrefaction.

🐝The term "honeymoon" comes from the fact that newlyweds consumed honey for fertility after the wedding.

🐝A bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.

Deep gratitude to the humble BEE! 🐝

Anyone can be heroic from time to time,
but a gentleman is something you have to be
all the time.

Good morning.
