Life

"What makes life valuable is that it doesn't last forever; what makes it precious is that it ends, [and if I may add the last, what makes it priceless is that it is mortal]". This statement aptly underscores that you'll appreciate life if you understand it.

Life is fashioned within time to journey towards an end, an end with a goal in perspective. Life is time-dependent, and time, as they say, is luck, hence, don't waste it living someone else's life. Life is a roller coaster, it dwells in the belly of time, swaying forth and back, and getting one in close proximity to one's destination. Life is too short, only to those who know the usefulness of time. It is relatively long to those who think they can waste time, not knowing they're the one been wasted away. Time is not enough to profligate; learn to judiciously use it. Manage your time to craft life, don't let life craft you.

Despite the vicissitudes, life is worth living, even if it's only for its purpose. Everyone has a vacuum to fill, a problem to solve. Don't be ignorant of this; the world will not be complete without you. You're as important as anybody else.

Life is dynamic, life changes. Your ability to adapt your usefulness to the changing time will determine your needfulness in this world. If you're useful, you will be needful. Be initiative. Know that you don't always have to follow the path, try to make your own tread. By and large, don't be too conservative, change is inevitable.

Consider life to be a little bit mean, it will just not give you want you, you've had to get your exigencies from it. You can't win anything by quitting, those who have won something never quit. If "plan A" didn't work, the alphabet has 25 more letters, stay cool. Don't quit! The comeback is always greater than the setbacks.

Life is too not fair, take it or leave it! "Oun to ko waju si enikan, in loko si elomiran" (What appears a hill to someone is a valley to another). But it also rewards diligence and honesty. Make these two virtues your choices. Small choices become actions, actions become habits, and habits become your lifestyle. Remember Karma and Nemesis? They are life's prosecutors. They make ineluctable one's wrongdoings. Whatever you make happen to others, others will make happen to you.

Life got distractions. They're a decoy to lure and make astray your path to destiny. The only antidote is the focus. Know why you're at a place or doing something at a time. If you want to find your way amidst all the distractions, you first must know where you are going. Be wise! Keep to what is ahead, not the road behind.

Charlie Chaplin, "I have many problems in my life, but my lips don't know that. They always smile!". Smile is a symbol of hope and strength. Live your life as hope, someone needs it. Also, be informed that your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds. Cultivate a positive mindset towards life, it will reciprocate. Just as the sky is large enough for birds to fly, life's prosperity is well saturated for each to enjoy. Never regret being alive, it makes living difficult. You are created enjoy life, not to endure it.
