Happy priority for you and me

A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that ifhe 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 asfast as possible to cover as much land area as he could.He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast aspossible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because hewanted to cover as much area as possible.Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he wasexhausted and was dying.Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so muchland area?Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."The above story is similar with. We push veryhard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health , time with our family and to appreciate thesurrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really needthat much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition . Lifeis definitely not about work!Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty andpleasures of life.Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You haveto decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities,realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of yourdecisions be based on your instincts.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 abalanced 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.

True...can change our habit, thus character, thus aim for good future

The fact is that LIFE is either
hard and satisfying or easy and
unsatisfying.
If you can smile at LIFE, life
will always smile at you.
You own your LIFE, live it to
the fullest!
LIFE is about loving and being
loved; it is about enjoying your
food and sitting in the sun
rather than rushing through lunch
and hurrying back to the office.
It is about savoring the beauty
of the moments that don't last:
the sunsets, the leaves turning
color,the rare moments of true
communication. It is about
savoring them rather than missing
out on them because we are so busy.
They will not hold still until we
get around to them.
