The Life Budget
June 29, 2007 Leave a comment
I always tell my friends that Life is just like a battery. It comes with limited essence and everyone is given the same limited supply of Life to make one’s worth. That is why we have to use our man-days wisely. Imagine wasting our energy and time on something that is fruitless.
If life is so priceless and limited, you be amazed at the way we spend our lives. How we consume our hours blindly and how we should live a fuller life. Watching a series of "LOST" would cost us 1 manday (1 hour/episode x 24) of our life. And for those who don’t watch "LOST", what did you do with that 24 hours of life?
