Keep It Simple : Life ?

Yeah, its my first ever post....so i thought i should keep it simple.....

so after changing the topic for 24 times ....i stumbled upon a thing...

or really a question that's life...

What Does life really mean or what's the purpose of life...??

A universal question in the hearts and minds of men and women in all parts of the world is, What is the purpose of life?

We wonder how each of us is endowed with talents, and how, through proper work habits, being honest and patient, each can accomplish worthwhile objectives.

It is not unusual to hear a religious leader, a philosopher, or a poet refer to mortal beings as having a divine spark within them. Such characterizations imply that we possess great abilities and potentialities.

So all this is nothing new...we may have heard it from our parents, teachers, all those funky speech givers...but the one thing they stress on is setting a goal...

Now I know how to score one, but not how to set one ..LOL just kidding..

The truth is, most of us do not have written goals because it is extremely difficult to define our goals. Yes, we all want to make a sufficient amount of money, we all want to retire, we all want to have a happy life, but what does this exactly mean? Many of us know what we want to do short-term, but where does it all lead? Few of us have the big picture vision that we hold in our mind to inspire us in our day-to-day situations.

To make one’s life successful we need to have a goal. A life without a goal is like a ship without a compass.

We are lucky to have a good school with all necessary infrastructures. No matter how you had been in the last term, but what matters most today is how well you will utilize your capabilities and the facilities provided in the school in this term. You must have heard of Abraham Lincoln. He was the son of a poor woodcutter. Every day he was found reading under a street light. One day a policeman on patrolling asked him, “Why are you found here so late at night?” Boy Lincoln replied instantly, “If I don’t read now how can I become the president of America”? The surprised policeman asked him, “You, you want to become the President of America?” We know that later he became the best president that America had ever seen.

Now while we talk about Goals....we should definitely not forget about our life....

Here’s an example

it’s a speech given by a well renowned writer...

Don't just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order. There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions."Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die..

One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a prepaid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? …It's OK, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices...” . "Don't be serious, be sincere.
