Making a living and making a life.


Little pussy asked what's the difference between making a living and making a life. That's an interesting question?

Answer! When my family was a young one, i had to awake very early in the morning, worked until late night without seeing the children because they were already asleep, never had a chance to have meals with them and almost worked seven days a week. I called that making a living and i missed all the fun seeing the children grew. Should i had balanced my life, and learned to live a more meaningful life when the children were all growing up, i would have been more happier today. One might make a lot of money and yet not happy by making a living. Whereas making a life is to gather happiness while living. I pick the second choice.

There is a saying, "You should not go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."

In case some may not understand the above phrase. The catcher's mitt is a baseball glove. Basically it means, don't keep everything of good to yourself. Share them with everyone while in making a life for yourself.
