100 years is too short compared to 1,000 years. What I mean here is do enjoy yourself and don't despair because of a failure. Some got stuck and keep thinking of his or her failure. I notice many people stopped in the middle of pursuing a job as they found it really difficult to get a job. It's no suprprising that there are people who end their lives tragically.
I know money is important, even it's the most important to me in my life. But if we find it hard to get, don't get cast deep down. Keep trying. We are not alone in this world. There are others who are on the same boat, right?

I agree that life is very short. We've got to make the most of the time that we have. Spending it with family and friends and thinking about positive things. It can be easy to dwell on the negative but we don't want to let it consume our life. There are many people who are in the same boat as we are. Trying to earn a decent living. That is a lot of work and we do get discouraged by how hard it can be. But we have to do our best and let the rest be.

Dwelling on the negative will indeed cause us health problem and emotional disorders. Nobody is perfect, no one is without hardship. And if we believe that after hardship there is ease, we will not give up.

There are so many health problems and issues that come from stress and negativity. It really does a lot of harm to our bodies. So we have to be conscious of the effects it has on us. We have to work on focusing on the positive because that does good for us.

That's true my friend.
We don't have to stop trying on how to make a living or go on with life. If you fail in trying to get a job, then maybe you can think of ways on how you can earn a living through some small business ventures.
Maybe when you have tried what you can, you can ask for the help of others to help you start something that can give you earnings. Just don't forget to return the goodness.
Life is too short indeed. So, make the most of it.

I agree with you. What do you think of this saying from Holy Book. "After hardship, there is always easiness." No matter who we are, if we persevere with it, there will be a winning time in the future.

I do believe in that quote from the bible. God always rewards our hardships, so we just have to always persevere.

Yes, you are right, life is short but it doesn't mean we can't be happy. We have to be happy in order to survive. Stress is inevitable in life but we are the ones giving ourselves stress. As long as we know how to place our priority in life, we would be able to enjoy life in a proper manner. Life doesn't have to matter whether it's long or short, as long as we live each day to its max, one day would be more than enough. Don't be surprised to hear and see people accomplishing things in a day when others might take years to do it.

absolutely true, we must all enjoy our life, problems come in our life to make us stronger and and also to make our lives exciting. think if our life will always be good, no problems, all will only be sitting on their couch and watching TV. let us always think positive that we will finish and survive the game of reality. everything was made for a purpose. don't lose hope of we have too much problems in our back, their are people who are willing to help us carry them. life is too short, 75-100 years is not enough to enjoy it 100% , we must enjoy it because we have still time to enjoy it. don't enjoy it when you know that you will die next month or maybe tomorrow. live your life to the fullest. :)

I agree. This world is given just like that without God having His purpose. His purpose is to allow us to enjoy what has been given.

Yes failure is only failure if you don't learn from that failure, I was not a clever kid at school infact I think I was pretty dumb but I tried to learn from every failure and negative thing in my life because I believe their is a positive or maybe even two whereever their is a negative.

Yes, that's right. I found many young people who failed easily despaired and ended their lives. This life needs perseverence and hard work to continue living.

Yeah right, sometimes things go wrong and we can't expect that things are always going to be OK because life isn't like that. There's rough and smooth road to travel to. But despite all of the problems and failures we still need to get up and go on. We can rest but we shouldn't stop. God knows what we need and He will give it to us, just believe. :)

If we don't make good use of this life, this will mean our not being thankful to God who has created this world for us all.

That is the reason why we must influence everybody that money is just an object wherein it plays the important role in life just for necessities. More so it is just an advantage that we can buy other things that we like. There are things that money couldn't buy even the richest person around the world can't even buy it. People should realize that we are earning in order for us to provide necessities to our family especially the most important basic needs. Look at the example of what happened to Japan last year. They are the country that has good development but then look at what happened when the disaster came? Both rich and poor are needing for basic needs. It is for us to realize that we should know how to value our life with morals and good character, and we are not supposed to rely ourselves all the time because of the money.

It's true. Live life today as if it's your last. Do what makes you happy. Appreciate life and don't sulk on the negative things. Don't despair. Learn to move on and be happy!
I'm totally with you! Cheers!

Definitely! This came right in time. I'm at my lowest point again. Lately, there are some people who belittled me because of my past. They will use my past against me and They really want to hurt me. I had been telling myself that this is just a challenge to me. I shouldn't gave up. I would just pray to God silently, "God please help me to be more stronger and be better."

Yes 100 years is short if you measure it with 1000 years or a million years. But the case is most of us don't live 100 years at all.
Also.. most of us are not able to live our own life for even 50 years (you can't if you are a child/not adult, you can't if you are old/sick/etc).
So the short time left over you can should be a great time.
To my opinion money is always needed to make one feel happy.
Happiness is a choice, it's the way you look upon yourself, other people, nature. To see all the challenges you have (how to survive is one of them). Without a hot meal, even 1 meal a day, parties, travelling, etc etc you can have a very happy life too.

One reason why we have to enjoy this life is that we are much luckier than those who have no legs, no hands. Why should we be sad? Am I right?

Life is so beautiful to neglect. So, from now on, let's start forget the bad past, make a new promising one.

Within a short span of life that is allowed to each human being one strives hard to build up a meaningful life .All of us are intent on making money which would definitely add to our material comforts. Getting along well..living happily...developing healthy attitudes...concern for the fraternity - all these constitute a meaningful life

Yup it is short indeed. You reminded me not to sulk just because of failing at something. Somehow we need to stand up again and forget the things that made us cry and helpless once in our life.

We must spend our lives with good things and good deeds because being how we live is more important than how long we live. For me money is essential for us to meet our basic needs but it must be earned honestly.
