On coming home one day they realized, to their dismay, that the lifts were not working and that they would have to climb up the stairs. After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to leave their bags and thought of taking them back the next day. They left their bags there and climbed on... By the time they had struggled to the 40th level, they had gone sufficiently mad and were irritated. The younger brother started to grumble and soon both of them began to quarrel. They somehow continued to climb the flights of steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor. They then realized that they had only 20 levels more to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their apartment at long last! Each stood calmly before the door and waited for the other to open the door. They then realized that their keys were in their bags, which were left on the 20th floor!!! This reflects our life and times. All of us climb the tall building called 'career'... some till the 80th floor and some less. But do we know that the key to happiness is in the bag, which has been left back on the 20th floor? Know your dreams and follow it so that you will not live with regrets. If the chariot of your life is driven by the seeds of ambition, make sure the reins of your life are held by the hands of joy. ** */N.
