What Life is About

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 pushed 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 to do. 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 ecide 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 balance lifestyle and enjoy Life!

Good One Isq...!! and as well as our elder bro said you are to become a great philosopher.

But I dont agree with your opinion sumwhere here ......... i mean aabhie bhi aap india mein 70 % logg aaise hain Jo ki khud ko establish karney ke liye ya aaapne aapno ke sapno ko poora karna karney ki liye kiya kuch nahi kartey hain ? look at me working from 8.30 a.m to 10 p.m ......... Harr jhopdi mein rahne waaley insan ki khwahish hoti hai ki uska bhi ek din koi bunglow ho .......... aaur agar uss waqt wo balanced life style ke liye sochne lagey to fhir shayad Jhopdion mein bhi Guzara hona muskil hhota hai.......... haan Bunglow's aaur top stories ke flat mein baith kar agar ye baatein karein to bahut hi aacha lagte hain .......... School mein aache aache number bhi miltein hain ..... aaur kisi site par likhne mein se aachi aachi replies bhi milti hain .......plz dont mind Isha.......... but ek balanced life style jeena itna aaasan nahi hai .............. ek insaan aapne expectations ko khatam karr sakta hai parr zara sochiye ki agar aapko aapne bachonko aahca education dena hai ..... aaur unke harr khwabon ko poora karna harr parents ka khwaab hota hai ...... wo khud ko nirash kar detein hain ...... parr aapne bachon ke liye ...... aaur tabb balanced life ka koi scene nahi hota hai.

Waise bahut Zyada lamba keh diya bura nahi mann na ........... par aapke post ki tarah ye bhi ek sach hai!! maine isko bahut nazdeek se dekha hai!!!

chalo now my opinion.......hmmmm u both r right from uor perspective

but i still think life should be balance......wat u'll gain  by acquiring all money or working 24/7......u'll leave everything here when u'll die......and even if u work all life, no one is gonna remember u by how much time u gave to their company or watever.......yeah they'll remember u for a while thats it ......ppl is gonna remember u by how u r w/ them.........and not by how much work u done or money u make.......even if u give uor money to ppl........it'll never be enuf.......oh yeah ek quote yaad aaya "
WORLD IS A PLACE WHERE THERE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY"

(Its just my opinion, HOPE no one get offended)

i agree RISK haar cheez main hota hai......but person should take calculated risk na......person shouldnt act like blind person and say watever i'll do uss main risk hai.....so koi farak nahi padata......person should act smartly even if sth involve risk........aur rahi baat road cross karna main bhi risk.....obviously u wont cross the road when heavy traffic is passing by.....u'll cross jab road thodi khalli ho.....hai na

OKay ISq I do agree with your opinion but you just tell me is it wrong say "KUCH PAANE KE LIYE KUCH KHONA PADTA HAI" ??

So to reach the goal we need to sacrifice for it!! like as students use to read for through out the night to be prepared for their exams .........  and after examinations they can sleep for through out the day .............. so with this professional life.

My opinion as per my consideration of BALANCED LIFE STYLE .............. hope not a offence!!!
