          The tenor Luciano Pavarotti relates the following. " "When I was a boy, my father, a baker, introduced me to the wonders of song," Then he urged me to work very hard to develop my voice. Arrigo Pola, a professional tenor in my hometown of Modena, Italy, took me as a pupil. I also enrolled in a teachers college. On graduating, I asked my father, 'Shall I be a teacher or a singer?'

          "'Luciano,' my father replied, 'if you try to sit on two chairs, you will fall between them. For life, you must choose one chair.'

          "I chose one. It took seven years of study and frustration before I made my first professional appearance. It took another seven to reach the Metropolitan Opera. And now I think whether it's laying bricks, writing a book--whatever we choose--we should give ourselves to it. Commitment, that's the key. Choose one chair."

            As long as your heart does not grow cold, your mind stagnant and your soul asleep, no matter what happens to your body, the vigor of your attitude will always put a glow in your eyes and a glimmer in your living.

          Therefore, allow me to ask these questions.  If tomorrow were your last chance to love, would you still chose hate? 

          If tomorrow were your last chance to show patience, would you still chose anger? 

          If tomorrow were your last change to worship God would you still put Him in second or even further down the line for things to think about?

          If somehow you could sneak into tomorrow without it becoming today what would you see?
