Eighty steps.......!!
I got this fwd, recently from very old friend of mine:________________________________________________________
There were once 2 brothers who lived on the 80th floor of a tall building. On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay that the lifts were not working and that they have to climb the stairs home. After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags then and climbed on............
When they have struggled to the 40th level by this time they had gone sufficiently mad and irritated. The younger brother started to grumble and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the flights of steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.
They then realized that they have only 20 levels more to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at long last! . Each stood calmly before the door and waited for the other to open the door. And they realized that the key was in their bags which were left on the 20th floor.........
This story is a reflection on our life and times.All of us climb the tall building called career ...........some till all the 80 floors and some less. But do we know that the key to happiness is in the bag which has been left back on the 20th floor only.
Know your dreams and follow it so that you will not live with regrets.
Celebrate Life........"Your life is reflection of your thoughts" ________________________________________________________
Very well said in the forward, that we keep moving ahead in life; striving hard for our career, forgeting what we want actually is the fulfilment of those miniscule dreams.
A calm professional life, a loving life-mate and some peaceful moments with and for our parents & family....

and thanx for introducing me to Bertrand Russell ..going to read more about him now...
as for me, swami vivekananda will always be my philosphy guru
Swami Vivekanand rules beyond doubt anubhav. esp. his philosophy about mankind & hinduism, pretty good literature available to read.
Russell is philosopher as well a great mathematician and logician, known for the famous Russell's paradox. If you want to read more about him follow this link:

I am coming in the reverse chronological order and till now I havent found the right term to address you. Wondering whether to call you as "a_beautifulmind" or "abm" or "bm". First one is too long. The last two just reminds me about business manager and associate business manager.
So let me call you as "EBY". I hope thats ok with you. Its reasonably unique and pronouncable too.
Well Eby, all the recent post till now have been heavily commented. I guess I came too late to participate there. Will do so in your future posts. Liked you site a lot - philosophical, quotes interspersed with wit.
This particular forward was wonderful. Its very, very true.
All the good text forwards (inpsiring/humorous) recieved by me are archived in Wanna Browse It helps not only to preserve it but sometimes, I manage to trace the source of forward with the help of my visitors.
May I reproduce this in that archive?
