“Nice guys may finish last, but at least they finish the race!”
In this world where competition is everywhere, we can’t help but exaggerate our qualifications just to stand out. We are used to joining the rat race but little do we know that we are missing out on one essential ingredient in winning the game. We fail to play the game right. Yes! Cheaters do get ahead of the game but victory cannot be relished that long. It is all but temporary. Success is not fully measured by the length of time you spend to win the game but it is all about how you maintain being successful for the rest of your life.
“Search for meaning, eat, sleep. Search for meaning, eat, sleep. Die, search for meaning, search for meaning, search for meaning.”
Life does not have to be for the routine. If we always drag ourselves to work even if we already feel demotivated then our life is so meaningless. If we always search for meaning, our existence will eventually be predictable. We wake up and then search for meaning. Is that our only purpose in life? I don’t think so… there are lots of things that we can do aside from searching for meaning because the more we search for it the less are the chances that we will find any of the answers.
“What else does life refer to if not Death? “
More than death, life has so much to offer. We are not here to merely wait for death to knock on our door. We have a sole purpose why we are here and that is to live.
“Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed.”
Some people live their lives in a state of hopelessness and their mind is clouded with apprehensions. Sorrow and hopelessness made their visions blur. It has never dawned on them that life is not only about angst. They fail to look on the bright side of life. It is a sad fact that not all men are strong enough to face challenges and brave the wind. Others just easily give up without even trying. I too failed lots of times but I never stop trying. After all chances have no contracts and if ever there is I would surely breach it.
Whoever said that life is easy is dead because life is full of obstacles. That’s the beauty of living. It’s an art that one should master. No work shops, no auditions. May these funny quotes about life give you insightful ideas why you should take the risk of living life.
