Warrier's Collage on Sunday January 4, 2026

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Sunday January 4, 2026 Friends Good Morning 18008969999 Birthday to all readers having Birthday during this week 🎈 The year 2026 is just 4 days old and many of us are still in a celebration mood. So, this week I have made Collage as light as possible. Enjoy the week. M G Warrier A Quote Of The Day https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/books/features/quote-of-the-day-by-ernest-hemingway-every-mans-life-ends-the-same-way-it-is-only-the-details-of-how-he-/articleshow/126120957.cms The quote One of his most iconic lines is “Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.” Here Hemingway reminds us that death is universal. No matter who we are, rich or poor, famous or unknown, everyone reaches the same final point. What makes one person different from another, he says, are the choices in between: how we love, how we work, how we handle fear, and how we face the end. In other words, the “details” are not small things; they are the story of a life, our daily actions, our courage in crisis, our kindness, and even the way we meet death. This idea runs through his fiction, His heroes are rarely perfect, but they keep trying to act bravely and honestly even when they know they might lose. So the quote becomes both a warning and an invitation-if the ending is the same for everyone, then what truly matters is living in a way that leaves a clear, honorable trace in those details, a life shaped by courage, compassion, and quiet integrity that lingers long after we are gone.
