Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If marble falls there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achive the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.

                One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up?

            Why do we close our eyes when we sleep, when we cry, when we imagine, when we kiss, when we prey? Because the most beautiful things in the world can not be seen with your eyes, it must be felt with your heart.

            It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interview, take leave from work, enjoy with your friends, fall in love, little fights with your loved ones. We are people, not programmed devices.
