A Dog's Tale

These lines from Mark Twain's famous book " A Dog's Tale" are so inspiring and show all of us the way in which we must lead our lives.They are reproduced here verbatim, as they have been expressed so succinctly in the author's own words.
"When I was well grown, at last, I was sold and taken away, and I never
saw her again.  She was broken-hearted, and so was I, and we cried; but
she comforted me as well as she could, and said we were sent into this
world for a wise and good purpose, and must do our duties without
repining, take our life as we might find it, live it for the best good of
others, and never mind about the results; they were not our affair.  She
said men who did like this would have a noble and beautiful reward by and
by in another world, and although we animals would not go there, to do
well and right without reward would give to our brief lives a worthiness
and dignity which in itself would be a reward."
