Two Facts About Life That Would Change You Forever

I left my office desk, quarter to one during near break period, with a nagging question that keeps bothering my mind.

What is life? LIFE!!!

Life, undoubtedly, is a characteristic way in which everyone lives.

Dale Carnegie, the American famous writer in 19th century, coined life as saying there are two seasons in every rich man’s life: season to acquire wealth and another season to distribution such wealth.

Isn’t that amazing!

However, nothing could be further from the truth about life from his vantage point.

Life often time consists of struggle by individual to seek physiologically needs (i.e. clothing, shelter,cars needs), follows by safety, next is love, esteem, and self-actualization according to Abraham Maslow Hierarchy of needs.

That moment I knew I’ve found my eureka!

What is that thing that pisses you off mostly that you feel compelled to fix, if given the opportunity?
