Marathon of Life.

The speed at which we live our lives nowadays is going past us too fast. After every weekend that we have just spent each week, we find ourselves facing the next weekend almost immediately. We will always try to seek for more time which is never there for us to finish our chores or to engage in newer activities. The pace is too scary, alarming to say the least, and before we know it, more and more numbers are added to our age.
Its very true, we Singaporeans have an exceedingly high expectation of life. From the very beginning, during our younger days, as early as 3 years of age, we are pushed to excel well in our studies for a start, systematically followed by numerous and unending tuition classes in this and that, as well as to participate in all sorts of sports and musical activities.
This lifestyle continues steadily on till we fully complete our education. With a piece or maybe more educational certificates, paper testimonials, we begin on our tedious journey into our second phase in life, which is even more hectic. Work, more work, pay, better pay, jobs, better jobs, will be the order of our monotonous tasks to achieve and attain a better lifestyle for our future. From then on, we start to catch up with time which does not and will not slow down at all. In our quests for excellence and a better future, we have altogether forgotten about the importance of the quality of life.
Stop and relax awhile........... have a thought.
