Bored !!!

For those who are wondering why this blog has not been updated, let me declare that I am absolutely bored and in no mood to blog.

Currently the only quote applicable to my life is -

"Reality continue to ruin my life" ~ Calvin

Enjoy !!!

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. 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. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. 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 and love is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence. Selfishness and hatred means darkness and sorrow of life.

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 balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!
  • Take regular breaks, enjoy Silence, enjoy Nature, enjoy YOURSELF!!!!!

Verse of the Week !!!

Fight one more round - James Corbett

When your feet are so tired that you have to shuffle back to the center of the ring,
fight one more round.

When your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard,
fight one more round.

When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black & you are so tired that you wish your opponent would crack you on the jaw and put you to sleep,

fight one more round - remembering that the man who fights one more rounds is never whipped.

-- Good luck !!!
