In today’s fast moving world, people seem to be preoccupied all in a bid to fill up their pockets and have a good time shopping ,no one has time to stop and look around for a while.A perfect life is defined by success, money, power and fame.In a mad rush to attain it, some people try to be ‘all things to all people’,some become sleep deprived,some slog forgetting the world,some get trapped in the vicious circle, some get into depression,some lose health and some lose their life too.Everyone wants to be a ‘ big fish in a small pond’.Yet only a few make it ,and others either regret or preach that life is more than all this.
We are born & brought up in a joyful environment, void of struggle and turmoil, but as we grow up we understand the harsh realities of world and dare to face them with countless fears clouding our minds.The competitive world changes us from the innocent souls to the clever minds embraced in a catapult to win the rat race.First half of the life we lose our health to gain money,and the rest half of the life we lose money to gain health.
So where have we come?Is the path right or digressed?Well,that’s the question you have to ask to yourself and your conscience;and introspect keeping aside the boundations world has enforced upon you.
Take a time out and contemplate the meaning of your life.Pick your field,seek your passion and use it to achieve your ambition.Strive for excellence,and never hesitate to follow the road less travelled by,just because there’s a herd running for rank one.Be happy and stay hungry,chasing your dream that’s solely yours. Don’t miss out on timeless memories;the time when a beautiful girl looked straight into your eyes(don’t know if a girl cherishes a memory like this :P),the time when you received that unexpected SMS from your loved one,the time when you saw sunrise at dawn,the time when a baby smiled at you,the time when someone genuinely praised you,the time when you got the gift you wanted from your parents,the time when your friends beat the hell out of you on your birthday and yet made it unforgettable,the time when your mom cooked your favourite dish,the time when you relished the drizzle and the smell of earth refreshed you, the time when you played super mario,the time when you won a competition and many many other cherishable moments of your life.
Life is short.Work hard and smart.Love what you do and do what you love.And stop for a while to look around or else you will miss it…
