Today, I would like to share with you a short story.

There was once a time when an insurance agent (No Pun intended) visited an old man, wanting to sell some policies to him. Inside the old man's house, there was also a big old dog. After settling down, the agent, a young man, started to talk about the policy. Right after that the dog gave a long groan.... The young man thought it was quite funny and gave a laugh, trying to make the meeting more and ease. After a while, when the young man started to talk about the insurance policy again, the dog gave a long groan again...

Feeling not at ease, the young man decided to asked the old man why was the dog groaning here and there. The old man said "Oh that dog had a nail in it, but wasn't that keen to do anything about it. Though the pain is bothering him, it is not to the point of him wanting to do something about it"

Now isn't that so for the case of us as well? Sometimes in life, there might be something that is bothering us, and because it might not be deemed as that urgent, we put it aside, even though it might be important. One such example is our health. Many of my friends, relatives often waited for a long time, before symptoms appeared before making drastic measures, such as eating habits and exercise, and of course not to mention taking tons of medications in order to attempt to improve the situation. Not to mention the fact that for cases where are discovered much later often warrant an operation and/or huge medical bills. All these could have really prevented if we have consistently been taking care of our health.
