An eight-year-old boy approached an old man in front of a wishing well, looked up into his eyes and asked: "I understand you're a very wise man. I'd like to know the secret of life "the old man looked down at the young boy and replied: "I've thought a lot in my lifetime, and the secret can be summed up in four words. The first is THINK. THINK about the values you wish to live your life by. The second is BELIEVE. BELIEVE in yourself based on the thinking you've done about the values you're going to live your life by. The third is DREAM. DREAM about the things that can be basedon your belief in yourself and the values your going to live by. The last is DARE. DARE to make your dreams become reality, based on your belief in yourself and values.

your sharing of the meaning of life was beutiful and I have think of it myself for so many times. Life to me is a journey to the unknown, its secret is tenacity, patience, humility and lots of thanks giving to god. I used my thinking and dared the hardship of work, but many times God is greater than everything and showed me those of lesser wisdom who abides in him succeed. I dream'nt a lot keeping my values straight but God have showed me humbleness is a lot better than other values. I dream and dream and dream coupled with values and believing but God have showed me that patience can endure that dream. And without thanks giving those thinking, believing and dream will have no meaning. God bless you and have a good day.
