Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could
ride on his horse and cover as much area as he like, then the Emperor
would give him the area of land as much as he had covered.
Sure enough the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast
as possible to cover as much area as he could. He kept on riding and
riding, beating 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 are as
possible. Came to a point he had covered a very substantial area
and he
got very tired and was dying. Then he said to himself, "Why did
I
pushed
myself so hard to cover so much 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, power and recognition. We
neglect our
health, time with family and appreciating the surrounding beauty
and the
hobbies we want to do. One day when we think back, we will say
we
don't
really need that much but then we cannot turn back the clock for
what we
have missed.
So guys take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate the
nature.
Live is fragile, do not take life for granted. Live a balance
lifestyle -
enjoy life!
