The Horseman

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 or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover

as much area as possible.

The horseman 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 push 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.

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.

" People in the process of earning a

living should not forget to live " Have a joyful day .. full of life.

 

“All

mankind is divided into three classes: those who are immovable, those who are

movable; and those who move. "

Franklin
