Hello Steemians,

WhatsApp Image 2018-06-11 at 12.13.35 AM.jpeg

After this short trip to Malaysia, I feel much enlightened.

All these while, I ask questions like "Should I do A or B"

"Should I study or just dive straight in for entrepreneurship?"

"Should I travel or build a business for my future?"

"Should I pursue brand and luxurious goods?"

I have never considered doing a bit of everything, I am an extremist.

During the flight to Kuala Lumpur, I was silent.

My mother knows that I am struggling with these questions, she sensed the stress in me and texted me this.

Steve Jobs' last words

"He died a billionaire at 56yrs of Pancreatic Cancer and here are his last words on the sick bed:

"I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes my life is an epitome of success.

However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.

At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and

wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.

You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you.

Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – "Life".

When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading – "Book of Healthy Life".

Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.

Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends...

Treat yourself well. Cherish others.

As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or $30 watch - they both tell the same time...

Whether we carry a $300 or $30 wallet/handbag - the amount of money inside is the same;

Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the road and distance is the same, and we get to the same destination.

Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine - the hangover is the same;

Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq ft - loneliness is the same.

You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world.

Whether you fly first or economy class, if the plane goes down - you go down with it...

Therefore.. I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with, laugh with, talk with, have sing songs with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and earth, .... That is true happiness!!

Five Undeniable Facts of Life :

  1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be Happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things not the price.

  2. Best awarded words in London ... "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food."

  3. The One who loves you will never leave you for another because even if there are 100 reasons to give up he or she will find one reason to hold on.

  4. There is a big difference between a human being and being human.
    Only a few really understand it.

  5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, You have to manage!

NOTE: If you just want to Walk Fast, Walk Alone! But if you want to Walk Far, Walk Together!

Six Best Doctors in the World

  1. Sunlight
  2. Rest
  3. Exercise
  4. Diet
  5. Self Confidence and
  6. Friends

Maintain them in all stages of Life and enjoy a healthy life."

After reading it, I realized that life is all about having balance.

Enjoy yourself in the present and at the same time, plan a little for the future.

Once you are able to master the art of balancing, you will go far without burdening yourself with all the unnecessary thoughts.

Hopefully, those who are also struggling to figure out their life philosophies will realize that in life there isn't one definite answer or philosophy that can rule it all.

Ultimately, It's all about having balance.

Hi! Nice sharing ! I am always in dilemma too! Should I continue work for people or build my business

My recommendation would be to start a business while you’re working!

It’s gonna be tough but absolutely worth it!

So you can create businesses that can be outsourced or managed by others.

For e.g. currently I run a social media management business while working for my company. I formed my own team to manage clients’ needs. It doesn’t require my day to day attention, just a little bit of hours per day will do.

So my recommendation will be “figure out what you’re strong in, what you’re passionate about and double down on that biz”

Looking forward to hear from you :)
