庄子: "吾生也有涯，而知也无涯，以有涯随无涯，殆已."

The other day, i came across the above sentence and then immediately fell in love with the wisdom therein.

Zhuang Zi teaches us that our life is limited but knowlege is not. If we use our limited life to compete to the unlimited knowlege, we are doomed to die. There is no end to knowlege but there is an end to our physical presence in life. We should enjoy life to its fullest extent. Rather than spealizing oursleves into a knowledge area, we should strive to live a balanced life, having a little bit of every single spice in the world. Diversity is what makes life interesting. The beauty of summer lies in the coldness in winter. Without winter, summer loses its beauty, and vice versa.

Pursing one degree after another, i come to realize that there is more to life than becoming a master or doctoral student. The meaning of life is not an accumulation of piles of degrees, but of a possession wisdom. Wisdom differs from knowledge. Wisdom is an internalization of knowledge, information, and facts. It teaches the ability to discern good from bad, and right from wrong.

Living a balanced life, it is easier said than done. We have too much pressures to please our parents, teachers, bosses, colleagues, ...etc. But, most of all, we forget to please ourselves. How can one really love others without loving himself or herself first? Everyday, we are making choices. I cannot change path of my history. But, I am holding the pen to write my future. Today, right now, at this moment, i have chosen to love myself and bring peace to the inner self and then transform them to the external world.

For this weekend, I am going to a yoga retreat to give my body a break and to align my mind, body, and spirit. Sometimes, they depart too far away to comprehend our purpose of life.

I love yoga as well as the word itself. Yoga means unity, the unity among mind, body, and spirit. Loving what i do and doing what i love, my emotion is the best guidance on life. I have been listening to my mind and intelligence long enough; it is the time that i follow my heart and live a rejuvenated life!
