There were once 2 brothers who lived on the 80th
level. On coming home one day, they realized to
their dismay that the lifts were not working and
that they had to climb the stairs home.
After struggling to the 20th level, panting and
tired, they decided to abandon their bags and come
back for them. They left their bags there and
climbed on. When they struggled to the 40th level,
the younger brother started to grumble and both of
them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the
flights of steps, quarrelling all the way to the
60th floor. They then realized that they had only 20
levels more to climb and decided to stop quarrelling
and continue climbing in peace. They silently!
climbed on and reached their home at long last. Each
stood calmly before the door and waited for the
other to open the door. And they realized that the
key was in their bags which were left on the 20th floor.
[not meant to be a joke at all...if you find
yourself laughing at it, it's about time u start
thinking about what you want in life.]
Moral:
This story is a reflection on our lives. Many of us
live for the expectations of our parents, teachers
and friends when we were young. We seldom get to do
the things that we really like or love. It is under
so much pressure and stress that by our early 20s,
we get tired and decide to dump this load and enjoy
life. Being free of the stress and pressure, we work
enthusiastically and dream ambitious dreams. But by
the time we reach our 40s, we start to lose our
vision and along with that, our dreams and goal in
life. We began to feel unsatisfied and start to
complain and criticize. We live life in misery as we
are never satisfied.
Reaching 60, we realize that we have little time
left for complaining and we began to walk the final
episode in peace and calmness. We think that there
is nothing left that could disappoint us, only to
realize that we cannot rest in peace because we have
an unfulfilled dream. A dream we abandoned about 60
plus years ago.
So what is your dream? Keep them alive. Follow your
dreams so that you will not live with regrets and
you will have stories to share with your loved ones.

Dear Friends,
Have you drop/abandoned(lost) your bags(dreams) some
where along the busy lifestyle/working life??
Ask yourself now, what have you achieve so far?? And
if you continue to do what you are doing now. What
will you be achieving in 2 years from now in future??
Is this what you want from life?? Is this the kind
of lifestyle you want?? Are you satisfied with it??
If you have already achieve what you want. Then
CONGRATULATION to you!!. If you have NOT, then are
you doing something about it?? Have you got a plan??
If you still have NOT DONE ANTHING. What are you
waiting for?? You only live this life once, time
which have passed will not come back. What are you
waiting for?? ^_^
Dream big dream and go for it.... :-)
