It Doesn’t Really Matter

I have been wondering for quite some time how many people make it to a point to strive hard and yet at the end of the day when their hair becomes grey, they realize that they did not reach anything. Everything was rubbish and without value. They toil for a penny and when they grow old -- after all investments have been made and ROI’s have been calculated -- they do indeed have a house but never a home. An irony in life that has continuously bothered me throughout the 22 years of my life here on earth. We work so hard while we were young disregarding even our health and yet when we get paid off, we just spend thousands of our money into getting ourselves well and healthy once more (thanks to the hospitals!). And yet the cycle goes on and on and on and on and on. STOP! Somebody shouts and yet no one hears.

Being in a company who values return so much, investments are something that we are very particular about. Making it sure that in everything that we do we are getting the right amount and expected value of return or else the investment is deemed a dead-end.

Life has its one greatest challenge for everyone of us, and I think it just to live our lives to the fullest. And yes, fullest is not a matter of earning high returns on our investments, bagging an award, reaching the highest peak of our careers because at the end of it all, it is not that matters. It’s how we lived that life that we had.

There is something more rewarding than concentrating on gaining personal wealth or ambitions (of course, we have to do that too) but as I always tell myself – leave something for yourself. Don’t burn yourself like a paper that everything will be ashes soober. That one day when our hair turns gray, we still have a piece of us to share and not ashes from our burnt life slowly fading throughout the year. Live out, live free, enjoy life to the fullest. It doesn’t matter how we do this but always remember that we only have one life, and we have families, relatives, friends, officemates, classmates, and oh, enemies too -- to share the marvelous beauty of life with!

Till then!!!
