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 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 balanced
lifestyle and enjoy Life!



Watch your thoughts ; they become words.

Watch your words ; they become actions.

Watch your actions ; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character .

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny .
