What is your
dream?
80 Floors
There were once 2 brothers who lived on the 80th level. On
coming
home one day, they realized to their dismay that the lifts were
not
working and that they had to climb the stairs home. After
struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to
abandon their bags and come back for them. They left their bags
there and climbed on. When they struggled to the 40th level, the
younger brother started to grumble and both of them began to
quarrel. They continued to climb the flights of steps, quarrelling
all the way to the 60th floor. They then realized that they had
only 20 levels more to climb and decided to stop quarrelling and
continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached
their home at long last. Each stood calmly before the door and
waited for the other to open the door. And they realized that the
key was in their bags which were left on the 20th floor

[not meant to be a joke at all...if you find yourself laughing at
it,
it's about time u start thinking about what you want in
life.]
**********************************************************************
This story is a reflection on our lives... many of us live for the
expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when we were
young. We seldom get to do the things that we really like or love.
It is under so much pressure and stress that by our early 20s, we
get tired and decide to dump this load.... and enjoy life. Being
free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and dream
ambitious
dreams.
But by the time we ! reach our 40s, we start to lose our vision and
along with that, our dreams and goal in life. We began to feel
unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live life in
misery as we are never satisfied.
Reaching 60, we realize that we have little time left for
complaining and we began to walk the final episode in peace and
calmness. We think that there is nothing left that could disappoint
us, only to realize that we cannot rest in peace because we have an
unfulfilled dream.....a dream we abandoned about 60 plus years
ago......
So what is your dream? ......Keep them alive....Follow your dreams
so
that you will not live with regrets ......and you will have stories
to share with your loved ones.
