Sigh...
I'm not swift, I'm not strong, I'm not wise, I'm not skillful and my understanding may not exceed kindergarten level...So it's comforting to hide behind the first words...
Or are those words true?
I've read an article about teaching "MBA" to 5 yr old kids (to think that I've got my MBA many many years after that). I know someone who is starting a venture to teach financial literacy to 9-18 yr olds. One of my country stops' employment market value certification so much that even 40 yr olds are still taking Masters degree, CFA, CPA, C**...
In sports world, athletes have sacrificed most of their lives to train and train and train. Basketball players shoot and dribble and shoot and dribble. Weightlifters...guess what...lift weights everyday without caring for their heights cause they want to reach another kind of heights. And for the less glorious scenarios, the need to win drove some of them to resort to unscrupulous ways and crowns were taken away from the disgraced ones.
All these...for what???
The second statement - I came...I saw...I conquered...
Ahhh...the smell of victory is so overwhelming that the thought of losing is so terrifying...
And so...many are pushing their limits to be victors of the race...
Makes me wonder... What is this race about?
By definition a race means an event where a group of people pit themselves against each other to be the best among them. It can be about who will be the fastest, the strongest, the wisest and so on. This event happens in so many facets of life and the final prize is - glory. I think it would be appropriate if I call the biggest race of all is - living a meaningful life.
And so - I wait...for my time and my chance...
- pay attention on Your servant oh Master. Do not tarry...do not delay...
