Keeping Life Perspectives in Check!

Just got this in my email - share share...

A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride his horse and cover as much land as he liked, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he covered.

Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped unto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was tired and hungry, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much land as possible. It 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."

I once saw a poster that read:

We spend all our youth chasing money. In old age, we spend all our money chasing youth.
