> Follow Your Dreams... by Ms. Nivedita

> 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 was 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. But by the time we reach 40 years old, we
start
> to lose our vision and deams. 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.....?
>
> Known 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 .....Have A Great Day....
