Meaningful Piece of Advise
So the story goes:
There were once 2 brothers who lived on the
80th level. On coming home one day, they realized to their
dismay that the lifts were not working and that they have to climb
the stairs home.
After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they
decided to abandon their bags and come back for them
the next day. They left their bags then and climbed on.
When they have struggled to the 40th level, the younger brother
started to grumble and both of them began to quarrel. They
continued to climb the flights of steps, quarrelling all the way to the
60th floor.
They then realized that they have only 20 levels more to climb and
decided to stop quarrelling and continue climbing in peace. They silently
climbed on and reached their home at long last. Each stood calmly before
the door and waited for the other to open the door.
And they realized that the key was in their bags which was left on the
20th floor.
This story is reflecting on our life...many of us live under the
expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when young. We
seldom get to do then things that we really like and love
and are under so much pressure and
stress so that by the age of 20, we get tired and decided to dump this
load.
Being free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and
dream ambitious wishes. But by the time we reach 40
years old, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We began to feel
unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize.
We live life as a misery as we are never satisfied.
Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining
anymore, and we began to walk the final episode in peace
and calmness. We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us,
only to realize that we could not rest in peace because
we have an unfulfilled dream ...... a dream we abandon 60 years
ago.........
So what is your dream? ..! .... follow your dreams
so that you will not live with regrets ......
