Today,I have a discussion with an old man.He is more than 60.He is a business man.He has many business firms.His son leads business and the man supports him.
The man started his career at the age of 15.He started a bisycle repair shop.And,after some years he joined with a business team of 3 men.The team started motor sales.They could gain the success and became rich.Now they have a great estate worthed crores.
The elder daugther of the man got married at 18.She gave birth to 3 children.Her husband died because of cancer.She was at 24.Her children were minors.She has no any income.So,the man had to take care of her and her children.His son helped him a lot.They could overcome the situation.Children became major.Two of them got married.The old man is happy now.
He is very simple.
He said `nothing is ours.He gives everything and he take them all.`
What a humple word!
Life is a gift of God.
It is not our property.

For me, LIFE is but a journey, where we make most of our adventures by learning from them. We learn by helping each other make the journey more pleasant and to those less fortunate, more bearable. This journey has only one destination, some of us never make it there, some of us are blessed, never got lost and arrived there with flying colors. Some of us are distracted but somehow pull through. I am talking about our journey back to GOD.

How sad but very true . We never know what tomorrow is going to bring to us and need to be happy with what we have today but sometimes we forget to take the time to appreciate what we have today and when tomorrow comes it is to late . We often wish for more and don't take time to realize what we have until it is gone or spend to much of our time worrying about what tomorrow will bring rather then seeing what we have that is good today .
Life is a very complex matter that no one will ever fully understand but some people are more in dept about what is around them then others .

Hey nice story. Everyone has to acheive something in life. He seems to have taken everything easy. Also remember to undergo a problem is difficult and to explain a problem that went is easy. I hope you understand what i mean coz i am not that good at explaining.
