what life is about?we push so hard everyday to make more money,to gain power and recognition.we neglect our health,time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we loved to do.one day when we look back,we will realize that we don't really need that much,but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.

we live our lives as what we believe in... we work hard to have or get money... gain power and recognition as what you said... this may sometimes true to others... it is us who choose what we want to be and how we want our lives to be... i know its not always true to all of us but we live what we want to... as we strive hard to get what we want our life to be we forgot to find time to relax and time for our friends and family's... but then we have to look for the right side of what we do... are we happy? did we step others change to be happy? are we good at what we were doing? and mostly are our family and friends are there? are we giving time to them?

I do have the same feeling that we have missed so much in our lifes.We work so hard just want to give a better life to our family and want to make them happy,but actually we misunderstand the true meaning of happiness.We thought money and materials are the source of happiness,but we ignored the feeling of being needed by our families.They would choose to give tomorrow morning's breakfast but to stay longer with you.Life is not always about countless assignments from bosses and struggling till the deadlines.Sometimes,slow your steps down and look around,the truth of life and beauty will come to you.:)
