داستان هاي بلند و كوتاه

A long 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 a 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 and Play, 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. But happiness has a lot of
meaning. Which king of definition would you choose? Which kind of happiness
would satisfy your high- flyer soul
