The Art of Living
Now...what is the art of living? How do we need to lead our life? The way we live...can it be assessed? Under what circumstances can we say we have led a good life...we have live life to the fullest? Do we assess our life or the way we live based upon our achievements? Do we then assess our achievements based upon the cash or money we earn? How about for those who are married? Those with kids...How do u then say u have led good life?The answer...I do not have. :) I have no idea whatsoever as to the definition of living a good life. I guess for me...at this age and this point, many would say that my life should revolved around what I do. In terms of my job...my achievements...but that's something really...I don't know...subjective maybe. I would prefer to think of it this way; Leading a good life = having fun living.
But how do we find fun in living? I mean we have to face all kinds of problems everyday. It could be...facing stress at work or at school. Peer pressure...or for worse cases...not having a place to live...not being able to put food on the table...not having any clothing to wear. This is where the art of living comes in.
I have yet to understand this art. It is...fine art...(if u know what I mean). Different people has a different definition on how to live - so different ppl generally has different skills in the art of living. But at the end of the day, we are still humans...and generally, we still kinda live around humans. The life we live revolves the life of others...
Well...if any of you have any thoughts as to how one should live...and what life is all about, drop me a comment. I'll be the first to want to know about the true art of living... :)

Hmmm, wouldn't it be self-fulfilling to look back 50 years from now and feel proud of what you've accomplished with your life?
I'd say live by your principles and goals.
