Thapana once told how he lived his life according to his mother’s words, “Our health is ours. The money belongs to others. Power is temporary but reputation remains forever. All this means that if we fall ill, not even our loved ones can help us. The money belongs to others, which means even if you think it belongs to us, it is given to others in the end. Power is temporary, that is, nothing lasts forever. But for reputation, what we have done remains forever.”
