What life is all about????

 

A Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he

could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then

the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered. Sure

enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as

possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and

riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was

hungry,thirsty or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as

much area as possible.Came to a point when he had covered a

substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked

himself, " Why did I pushed myself so hard to cover so much land area?

Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself. " The

above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard

everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect

our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding

beauty and the hobbies we love to do. One day when we look

back, we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we

cannot turn back time for what we have missed. Life is not

about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely

not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy

the beauty and pleasures of life. Moral: Life is a balance

of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you

want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are

able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on

your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the

whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do

and appreciate nature. Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life

for granted. Live a balance lifestyle and enjoy Life!
