Points to Ponder
A long time ago, there was an Emperor who has told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land areas he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.
Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped into his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much as 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 as possible.
Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. The he asked himself, “Why did I push myself so hard to cover as 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 Life. We rush 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.
One day when we look back, we will realize that we don’t really need that much, but 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 pleasure of life. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance. 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 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 balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life.

I have been to 17 countries and almost half of America but still the Philippines is the best for me. Home sweet home, wika nga! Like to read, watch movies, walk in the beach and enjoy nature.

I remember him calling by cellphone saying Hello's to the Mamam Group in one of our Flickr Meets. Grabe, more than a flickr friend, isa ring taong kumukonek talaga sa kanyang mga kaibigan given that he's outside the country. Your life will always be an inspiration to us Sir Lito. Good health and more blessings to come. Reuel
