Got this email from one of my friends, its  quite a story of life, thought to share with you guys, Sadly I don’t know who originally created this, but whoever did, GREAT JOB!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Along time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give   him the area of land he has covered.   
 
Sure enough, the horseman   quickly jumped onto his horse and rode   as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could.  He kept  on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop  because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.   Came to a point   when he had covered a substantial   area and he was exhausted  and was  dying. Then he asked himself,  ”Why did I push  myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying  and I only need very  small area to bury  myself.”   
 
The above story   is similar with the journey   of our Life. We push very 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 love..   
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. 
Life is not about making money, acquiring  power or recognition. Life is definitely not   about work!  Work is only necessary   to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty  and pleasures   of life. Life is a balance of Work, Family   and Personal  time.. You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always   let some of your decisions be based on your instincts.  Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human   existence. 
So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced  lifestyle and enjoy Life!   
Watch your thoughts  ; they become  words.   
Watch your words  ; they become actions.   
Watch your actions  ; they become habits.   
Watch your habits; they become character  .   
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny  .

LIFE IS SHORT   SO MAKE IT SWEET..
