After struggling tothe 20th floor, panting and tired, they decided to abandon their bagsand come back for them the next day. They left their bags and climbedon.
When they struggled to the 40th floor, the younger brotherstarted to grumble and both of them began to quarrel. They continued toclimb the steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.
Theythen realized that they had only 20 more floors to climb, and theydecided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. Theysilently climbed on and reached their home at last. Each stood calmlyand waited for the other to open the door.
They then realized that the key was in one of their bags, which were left on the 20th floor.
Thisstory is a reflection on our lives. Many of us live under theexpectations of our parents, teachers and friends when we are young. Weseldom get to do the things that we really love.
By the age of20, we are under so much pressure and stress that we get tired anddecide to dump this load. Freed from this load, we workenthusiastically and have ambitious dreams.
But by the time wereach 40, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We begin to feelunsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live miserablelives, as we are never satisfied.
Reaching 60, we realize thatwe have little left to complain about, and we begin to walk the finalepisode in peace and calmness.
We think that there is nothingleft to disappoint us, only the realization that we cannot rest inpeace because we have an unfulfilled dream 一 a dream we abandoned manyyears ago.
So what is your dream?
Follow your dreams, so that you will not live with regrets.
