Chasing after the Wind
All of us go through life only once, so it's important to do what matters and what counts for eternity. As author Phillip C. McGraw wrote in his book "Life Strategies : Doing what works, doing what matters" it is important to understand yourself and do identify your strengths and weaknesses. Constantly building on our strengths and correcting our weaknesses. Life is dynamic and hence we need to be dynamic as well. We learn to take charge of our lives rather than complain all the time that life has been unfair to you.
