Short Life

When Napoleon was a soldier he used to spend his entire leisure time on planning, reading books while his colleagues were celebrating / drinking / playing during the same time.
One day a lady came and asked Napoleon that "See others are enjoying their life; life is very short; Why you are not celebrating?" Napoleon smiled, but never replied.
Ten years later, Napoleon became the Emperor. He invited the same lady to his palace and said, "Do you remember me? The soldiers celebrating those days are still soldiers. Since I had not wasted my extra time I could become an Emperor today.
