live your life to the fullest!!

now here's a topic that bothers me all week... a friend of me asked me this during a conversation on facebook:

mr.h: hey u know what, i ve been thinking. i want to bet very successful by studying engineering, i want to be a very famous engineer someday

w: yea? how r u gonna do that?

mr.h: well.. i'll concentrate on my study. i'll stop playing around. i'm 20 now. time to get serious.

w: wow.. yea? and u like it like that?

mr. h: no.. but i think i can focus on my goal by doin that

w: live your life buddy.

mr.h: what do u mean live ur life? i want to contribute sumthin to the world here. i want to be known for somethin when i died. and thats life is all about to live for.

w: do u have any frens other than me?

mr.h: well no.. i mean.. i came here (Vancouver) to study. i dun need friends as in for now.

w: uh uh.. i dont think thats a good idea about how u "live ur life"

mr.h: and i suppose u have a point?

w: well yea.. i have my own point on how i live my life... and here's how

u see.. live is about something.. being famous, getting ur goals achieved, fulfill your dreams. but u do have to remember. there's so much that life has to offer. i'll tell u a story and i heard this from someone that has been an inspiration for me. but its my version tho. this story came from turkey.

a man is in seek for the meaning of life, and one day he asked to the wiseman about how do u live ur life. and the wiseman simply said "okay.. meet me tomoro at the bar and bring a spoon and a bottle of honey". and this man thinks "wow this guy is a freak.. honey and spoon..? god i hope not what im thinkin".

and the next day, he meets the wiseman at the bar with a spoon and a bottle of honey. and the wiseman said "now fill the spoon with honey and bring this to my place as fast as u can without dropping any of the honey". and fyi, the wiseman lives really far away, but the man thinks he can do it fast.. lets do it fast! so the man brings the spoon to the wiseman REALLY FAST without dropping any of the honey. and he asked "hey wiseman. i did it really fast right? and i suppose i get my reward?" and the wiseman replied "ok.. now.. did u see the statute of liberty during ur way here? did u see the amazing magician performing right at the corner of the street? did u see the cute dogs when u passed the park? and did u see the hot girls opened the door to my house for u?" the man said no and said "i was focusing on the spoon and honey here so they didnt drop"

heres the conclusion, men always race with time, they scared that they wont have enough time on their life to fulfill their dreams (which is why MLM is really popular) and that makes people tend to only focus on what they after as fast as they can. but when u focus on your goals too much, u missed on so many beautiful points of life that happens around u. u live ur life to the fullest when u keep the balance between ur goals to bring the honey to the wiseman, but take some time to look at the statute of liberty, see the amazing magician, adore the cute dogs, and nail the chick in wiseman's house.

the point is, the balance achieving your goals and take whatever the world offers u, is what i meant by living my life. no matter how long it takes to achieve ur dreams, coz thats how long we want to live our life ;)

at least... thats what im doing now.. patience will pay off.. cheers!!
