A long time ago, there was an emperor. One day he told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and
16 as much land area as he liked, he would give him the area of land he had covered.
17 enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and
18 as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He
19 riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. Even when he was
20 and tired, he did not stop
21 he wanted to cover as much area as possible. When he at last covered a large amount of land, he was exhausted and was
22 . Then he asked himself, “Why did I
23 myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only
24 a very small area to
25 myself.”
The above story is
26 to the journey of our
27 . We push ourselves very hard every day to make more
28 , to gain power or recognition. We neglect our
29 , time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding
30 and the things we love to do. One day
31 we look back, we will
32 that we don’t really need that much,
33 then we cannot turn back time for what we have
34 .
Life is not about making money. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only
35 to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.
