Summary

Listen to an episode of Our Sunday Talks. Edited and adapted from “What is Worth While?” by Anna Robertson Brown.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The question of life is not, “How much time have we?” — for in each day, each of us has exactly the same amount: we have "all there is." The question is, “What shall we do with it?” Shall we let this priceless gift slip away from us in haphazard deeds, or shall we adopt some plan of saving, and of systematic doing, in our lives? What shall this plan be? How shall we determine what things are worth giving time to? Let us think about this question.
