"When I was young I set out to change the world.
When I grew older I perceived that this was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my state.
This too, I realized as I grew older, was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my town.
When I realized that I could not do even this, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man I know that I should have started by changing myself.
If I had started with myself, maybe then I would have succeeded
in changing my family, the town, or even the state-
and who knows, maybe the world."

'MEANING' - What is it?? Do you have yours??

In order to survive, we work hard and we earn more, wishing for luxury! ..for security! Also, we take good care, hoping for longer life! As for INTEREST, we pursue knowledge, archive our goals, in what we love, we passionate about and we enjoy, wishing to create something new, perhaps! ..happy ever after! We need both (at least we have to have) and we all are trying to..

Emm.. how about the 'MEANING'?? ..should be something beyond the above two ..something not material, yet not impossible ..something hardly seen, but should can easily feel.. something not solely for oneself, perhaps.. something motivates us until the end.. something hardly found, yet we have to.. any idea of it?? Necessary??

Of course, in real life, we have various activities involved. However, we are needing those three basically we are working for and everybody has a different and unique 'story'.. because we all CHOOSE to be.. So, what we define 'Meaning'?? Though, we should have one.. what if we don't have (yet)?? then.. what are we doing?? I wonder..
