Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his chief horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much area as he liked, then the Emperor would give him the area of land as much as he had covered.

Sure enough the horsemean quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, beating 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.

It came to a point he had covered a very substantial area but he got very tired and was dying. Then he said to himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much area? Now I am dying from exhaustion and fatigue 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, power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with family and appreciating the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we want to do. One day when we think back, we will say we don't really need that much but then we cannot turn back the clock for what we have missed. So take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate the beauty of things around you. Life is fragile, do not take life for granted.

Live a balanced lifestyle. Enjoy the life that GOD gave us!!
