What is Life ? ? ?


This question has always popped up in my brain and until today, I still cannot find an satisfying answer to it. WHY?!?!

* Is it because everyone has their own life??? i.e. Different people having different life as determined by some master…

* Is it because everyone has their own meaning of life??? i.e. Life can mean one thing for this person and mean the other for the other person…

* Is it because no one has a say to its own life??? i.e. Everyone is a puppet to the Master…

* Is it because Life just means the ability to breath??? i.e. Anyone that is able to breath, he or she has a life…



So really, what is life to you???

· Relaxing on the beach while hot chicks walking past you…;

· Enjoying your favourite ice-cream, chocolate, food or drink…;

· Earning your first (1st) million dollars…;

· Doing good deeds…;

· Having the 5 C’s [Car, Cash, Credit Card, Condominium, Career]…;

· Playing your favourite sport or hobby…;

· Having a good wife…;

· Doing some Extreme things…; or

· Breathing the freshest air…



From the Oxford Dictionary’s point of view, Life is just the period during which something continues to exist function or be valid…

i.e. If you die, you have NO Life…

That sounds SIMPLE…

So, why do I still in search for a satisfying answer???

Why do I have to treat my Life so hard, eh?...

Is it because of

§ Expectation?

§ Influence?

§ Public scrutiny?

§ Self-desire?



Seriously I don’t know…

From the day I stepped into this world until today, there have always been people comparing my life to other people and expecting something in my life out of the ordinary…

1.) When you grow up, you have to be a useful person? ;

2.) Why your friend, Ah Ben, get higher marks than you in Benlogy ?;

3.) Why your friend able to get a better job than you?;

4.) Why this? Why that?



So as comparisons are persistently existed, I have also started to expect or scrutinize something, if not everything, in my life… I suppose that means desiring more out of my life…

Ø Desiring for a BMW;

Ø Desiring for a 50 inch Plasma TV;

Ø Desiring for a bungalow;

Ø Desiring for this, Desiring for that.



My desire basically fits into a saying that goes like this,

Your future is determined by how you shape it today



Is that true??? Does it mean that if you want to be the next Bill Gates, you can be one???


I suppose you, readers, will be laughing by now…


But seriously, Can I be Bill Gates or Obama or Trump???


Can I? Can you?


So I wonder…


If anyone can give me an answer, please do…


Please only give your answer after you have read or watch “The Secrets


In the mean time, I will still keep on questioning myself “What is my life??”…
