Time flies

Half of 2007 has just flew past...I have now finally understood the meaning of time flies...As always, with all my rumbling thoughts...I begin to ponder over the purpose of life, I know, every individual has their own define purpose of life and everyone probably has a different one. So what is mine? I'm into a quarter of a century and what have I achieved so far...And what impact have I made in others lives? If I were to die tomorrow, what would I be remembered as?

For me, I equate my purpose of life with how impactful your life is when you're alive. I always think death is the final destination of every living human and that if the journey of everyday living is a learning process where we are faced with numerous tests and challenges, then death is probably the evaluation of how you have fared in life.

Say, the average life of a healthy being is 70-80 years tops, minus the first 15 and last 15 years which you can't really do much, you're probably left with 40 or so years to prove your mark and yet at the same time achieve happiness. I've used up 10 (15+10=25), I'm left with 30 yrs and that is provided if I were to live up to the age of 70 - 80. 15 years devoted to career, 10 years to offsprings if I were to have any...that leaves me with 5 years to myself... Scary thought huh....

Something light-hearted...Show off of my new purchase, off which Alfred has contributed generously(*⌒―⌒*) A Hermes garden bag... I'm closely getting close to a birkin *grin*
