~*Eighty Floors*~

I came across this beautiful article and thought of sharing it here..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There were once 2 brothers who lived on the 80th floor of a tall building.
On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay that the lifts were
not working and that they have 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 the next day. They left their bags then and climbed
on............

When they have struggled to the 40th level by this time they had gone
sufficiently mad and irritated. The younger brother started to grumble and
both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the flights of steps,
quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.

They then realized that they have only 20 levels more to climb and decided
to stop quarreling 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 life and times. All of us climb the tall
building called life...........some till all the 80 floors and some less.
Many of us climb under the expectations of our companion.

Time to time these are our friends and parents till the 20th floor, then our
spouse and our dear ones till the next level of the building. 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 decided to dump this
load. Being free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and
dream ambitious wishes.

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 as a misery as we are never satisfied.

Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining anymore,
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 could not
rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream..........a dream we
abandon 60 years ago. So what's your dream.....?

Know your dreams and follow it so that you will not live with regrets.

Help others and thank God.

Accept yourself...
Believe in yourself...
Like yourself...

Inside each of us are powers so strong, treasures so rich, possibilities so
endless, that to command them all to action would change the history of the
world.

Celebrate Life..........
