A story of dream...


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 an that they had to climb the stairs home. abandon their bags and come back for them the next day.  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 ......

 


This story is a reflection on our lives...

many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when young. We seldom get to do the things that we really like and love and are under so much pressure and stress so that by the age of 20, we get tired and decide to dump this load. Being free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and dream ambitious wishes. But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We began to feel unsatisfied and start to  complain and criticize. We live life in misery as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realized 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 to  disappoint us, only to realize that we cannot rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream ...... a dream we abandoned 60 years ago......


So what is your dream? ...... Follow your dreams so that you will not live with regrets .....


Accept yourself... Believe in yourself... Like yourself... Inside each of us are powers so strong, treasures so rich, and possibilities so endless, that to command them all to action would change the history of the world. Celebrate Life..........
