But just one must be king.

An expert in the world of music, died and went to heaven where he met an Angel at the beautiful golden gate.

The old man asked of angel to introduce him to other great musicians in heaven.

The angel responded, pointing to a direction “you see that man with a beard? He his the greatest musician that ever lived on earth”.

The old man responded, but confused, “Angel, I know that man and I know music, this man is not a musician, he works for my finest shoe-maker.”

Angel Gabriel still standing at the golden gate replied,

“Oh! He could have been the greatest musician that ever lived, but he thought he was a shoe-maker.”

So much time is a trap!

Sometimes ago I signed — up as an industrial trainee away from school which lasted a period of 6 months in a gas company. After a month of work, the molecular sieve (that separates the desired gas from undesired) expired, and we had to stop working. I had so much time everyday to do what I wished to do. I had said to myself once, “what will you do with this — much time?”.

You might have been in those shoes before when you had so much time and you know not what to do with it.

So much time lures us into misfortune.

When we fall for it, we pay the ultimate price with our crown.

Fight it! And overcome it! For this too shall pass!

“Fight for your dream, and your dream will fight for you”_ Paulo Coelho

Life itself is war. And kings on war grounds are great warriors.

Fight of purpose, Fight for a space

“Purpose is what gives life it’s meaning.” _ C.H. Parkhurst

Our lives strikes its best rhythm, only when it plays to our best voice-key.

Everyone can be king?

Everyone can be king,

but just one must be king;

Every one can be king,

if we all have our own spaces.

We all admire the life of a king; being a king require so much hard work we think we can’t bear.

Do not run after Failure; do not run from Failure.

“Without Failure, there is no achievement.” Anonymous.

Failure is a propeller that converts our mistakes into thrust.

Let this war be fun!

“Find something you love and go after it with all your heart.”_ Jim Abbott

Do you feel attracted to the game when you first saw it? Or maybe you love everything about a car, that no car seems ugly to you. Or you felt attracted to the president whenever he comes out to address the people? Can you spend hundreds of dollars out of your pay cheque for a single ticket just to watch a set of kids to perform choreography?

Go after what you love to do and watch other people doing.

In your own space you are the happiest king.
