c The Journey of Life UWXl
c UWXl
c What is life? It is a question that has been asked and pondered upon by philosophers,
UWXl
c writers and many others. Despite centuries of meditation, there is no standard answer,
UWXl
c considering that all individuals are unique and they perceive their lives in their own way. The
UWXl
c meaning of life is open to interpretation.
UWXl
c UWXl
c A Greek philosopher suggests that nothing lasts forever and hence nothing can transcend
UWXl
c time. Life is like a body of flowing water which is constantly changing. When we step into the river
UWXl
c again, it appears to be the same as before. Yet, it is no longer the same river that has wet our feet
UWXl
c because the water is ever flowing. By the same token, we are different from the “we” that
UWXl
c stepped into the water some time ago.
Life never repeats itself. It can be lived only once and UWXl
c
every moment of it should be treasured. UWXl
c UWXl
c “Time and tide wait for no man.”“Time is the most fair and reasonable — it never gives
UWXl
c more to anyone.” Time flies like an arrow and no one can wind back the clock.
There are so UWXl
c
many things we need to look after in our daily lives that sometimes we have no time to catch our UWXl
c
breath. Life is long if we live it meaningfully; life is transient if we just idle away our time. Instead
UWXl
c of waiting for opportunities to emerge, we should seize our time and make the best out of it.
UWXl
c Procrastination is the thief of time, and making up for lost time is not easy.
UWXl
c UWXl
c “The best does not come alone. It comes with the company of the all.”
Though not as UWXl
c
dramatic as a roller coaster ride, life is often marked by many ups and downs. Good times and
UWXl
c bad times come in the same way as the tide ebbs and flows. At certain points in our life, the sea
UWXl
c may be rough.
As long as we do not lose heart in adversity, we should be able to overcome the UWXl
c
hurdles. Sooner or later, the trying times will be behind us. Every cloud surely has a silver lining.
UWXl
c UWXl
c Life involves choices. We might make mistakes in the process, knowingly or unknowingly.
UWXl
c Of course, if we just sit back doing nothing, we will not risk making errors.
But there are times in UWXl
c
our life when we find ourselves at a crossroads where decision-making are unavoidable. Positive UWXl
c
thinking is a way to guide us towards a solution. While looking ahead for a new path, we also look
UWXl
c back to learn lessons. Life is a learning process, and the sands of time have much to tell and
UWXl
c teach us. “A man is never too old to learn.”
The longer we live, the more we should learn.
UWXl
c UWXl
c “Life is not a 100-yard dash, but more a cross-country run.” True enough,
life is like a UWXl
c
marathon that calls for persistence. In this long race, some run faster, some slower, and the
UWXl
c finish line is different for each participant. But at whatever pace, we should stride ahead with a
UWXl
c clear direction. We all have a goal in life, whether lofty or not. The heart of the matter is not how
UWXl
c fast we are moving towards this destination, but how hard we are trying to get there. It is in the
UWXl
c course of running that we truly understand the substance of life.
UWXl
c UWXl
c Like a leaf of blank paper, our life can become either just black and white or as colourful as
UWXl
c a mass of flowers. Our life is in our own hands. It is up to us to decide what to draw on this
UWXl
c paper. While some work with their own hands, some invite the partnership of another. An
UWXl
c accompanied journey is sometimes more heart-warming and fulfilling. In whichever case, this
UWXl
c paper is a record of our history, from the cradle to the grave, as well as a memoir for those that
UWXl
c come after us. So
no matter what we are going to draw on it, we should put our heart and soul into UWXl
c
it. UWXl
c Ruirui, you have inspired me to think of the meaning of life again. Devote UWXl
c
this article to you and wish you every success in the future journey of your life! UWXl
