When we are kids, there is no rush in life to multi-task, submit assignments or worry about financial matters. Our parents provide for everything. Kids are like birds with open wings. But, as time passes, their responsibility also changes because this is the natural phenomena of life.
A little naughtiness and sometimes foolishness are parts and parcels of our life when we look back into our own past memories. The past memories always remind us the most precious moments, those we had spent a long time ago. But past is past and it never comes back.
Interestingly, someone had said, “The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live for it.” To be honest, when I deeply understand this quote, I feel completely happy because our life is meant for today and not for tomorrow. Therefore, we should be happy at the present moment rather than thinking too much about the past or the future.
Believe me, not everyone on this planet has lived the same life as you are living. However, to quote George Bernard Shah, “Life is not about finding yourself. It is about creating yourself.”
After all, life is all but a beautiful game. Sometimes, we win and sometimes we don’t. This is how it works. First and foremost, this is how it has always been. Fundamentally, we put many premises when it comes to concluding valid arguments. Besides that, in each statement, we have looked for the most appropriate reasoning skills with a sound logic.
Apart from this, people are more likely to support such arguments instead of just a matter of opinions, beliefs or emotions. Today, if you have mastered at such sort of arguments, then you will be able to apply your own logic, no matter what the areas may be.
Of course, there is no shortcut formula for success. Your hard work along with a clear vision about the future will make you successful at the end of the day. We may fail many times not only in exams, but also in real life. All in all, however, carefully understanding the quote by William Barclay, “There are two great days in a person’s life- the day we are born and the day we discover why” will definitely open our eyes in time.
