A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his
horseman that if he 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 as fast as possible to cover as much 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 area
as possible.
Came to a point when he had covered a substantial
area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I
push myself so hard to cover so 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 our
Life. We push very hard every day 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.
Moral: One day when we look back, we will realize
that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what
we have missed.
