A translation extract from a Chinese newspapers.

Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if
he
could ride on his horse and cover as much area as he like, then the
Emperor
will give him the area of land as much as he has
covered. Sure enough the horsemean quickly jump onto his horse and rode
as
fast as possible to cover as much area as he could. He keep on riding
and
riding beating the horse to go as fast as possible.

When he is hungry or tired he did not stop because he want to cover
as
much area as possible. Come to a point he has covered a very
substantial
area and he got very tired and is dying. Then he said to himself, why
did I
pushed myself so hard to cover so much area, now I am dying and I only
need
a very small area to burry myself.

The above "story" is similiar with the journey of our life. We push
very
hard everyday to make more money, power and recognition. We neglected
our
health, time with family and appreciating the surrounding beauty and
the
hobbies we want to do. One day when we think back, we will say we dont
really need that much but then we cannot turn back the clock for what
we
have missed.

So guys take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate the
nature.
Live on day gain one day.
