Rat Race
Even if u win the rat race you are still a “RAT”!!!!!!!!!! long work hours, unpaid overtime, stressful job, time spent commuting, less time for family life and/or friends life is the common problem shared by almost everyone on this planet.Here rat race is a very common attribute to describe the dull, endless & monotonous lifestyle of the new generation which makes them aloof of the relatives, friends and a more enthusiastic and encouraging life. Rat race describes the mad behaviour of a rat running endlessly in the race of this world without any reward or gain in return &finally get intangled into the bleak world of dissappointments and discouragement. The same outlook has been adopted by the man, running madly to step above in the social ladder or in a desire of devt. get himself trapped in the cobwebs of life.

Life is not only about success or achievements but more to live it to the full extent by enjoing each and every moment of it and it is possible when we maintain a work-life balance and dedicate it to our biggest supporters ie. our family and friends it is rightly said that "There is more to life than increasing its speed." similarly always looking for promotions and keep indulging yourself in the mad goose race of competition wil make your life ‘lifeless’ and at some point of life u feel like being isolated from the world around you which is the highest defeat of the person that even after getting success he don’t found anybody to celebrate with; so ultimately it is your biggest failiure & not the success. Even the business tycoon ‘vijay mallya ‘says that his philosphy of work is ‘first work hard and then party hard’. It states that each person needs some recreation or solace in his life to shed away the stress and dullness from it.

It is rightly said that human wants are unlimited so after getting the success , the quest to get more is always there , it is like an endless dark tunnel so we must enjoy this beautiful life bestowed to

    As human beings, we are usually never content with what we have already got. And even when we do appreciate it…the situation tends to change and want just the opposite. The human mind is dynamic and it always finds itself having some type of expectation from life or situation. The expectation is always in an ever-changing mode in the pursuit of extremely opposite entities. e.i. instead of the color black, you want white or when you are stranded on a dessert, you want to be somewhere freezing…

    We need to recognize that we define what success is to us. Whether we measure success to be the attainment of a house for our family or finding true love as shown in "The Gilded Six-Bits", we set the bar. There is no reason to continually be discontented always longing for that next material thing that you think will bring you success and ultimately happiness. Realize the value in the things that we have because the grass always looks greener on the other side, but one never…

    1. All living creatures on this unique world we call Earth have some type of meaning for there purpose of life. As history shown us, humans however, sometimes struggle to understand what their purpose of life is. Well in my opinion, the purpose of life is not just to find happiness, reproduce, or to become wealthy off riches but rather for an individual to become successful. Success has many different meanings to it so I'm going to define what the term success means to me. Success is a person who achieves their goals, becomes a righteous person, breaks free from there ego and discovers there purpose to life. However, reaching success is not a simple walk in the park, it takes an individual to awaken, become aware, and work to get out of the "cave," so they can be enriched in the light. Plato, in "The Allegory of the Cave," gives a great understanding about a person reaching success on what the purpose of life is. Plato is a ancient greek philosopher, born in 428 B.C. who was a student of Socrates and a teacher of Aristotle. David Wallace, in his vidoe "This is Water," also gives great insight on how to be a successful person. Wallace is an american novelist and professor of English and creative writing. He was born on Febuary 21, 1962 and unfortunately passed away in 2008. Also, the Dalai Lama, author of "His Holliness" talks about how to achieve success in many different perspectives than Plato and Wallace. The Dalai Lama was the 14th Dalai Lama born July 6, 1935. He is still living and is still the most current Dalai Lama. According to all three, Plato, Wallace, and the Dalai Lama, they all suggest that for a person to reach success, one must know there self, be understanding, make a choice, become more knowledgable, experience, embrace failure, awaken and become free; therefore, a person will obtain a state of enlightenment and truly understand what there purpose of living is.…

    Michael Jordan once said “I’ve failed over and over and over again and that’s why I succeeded.” If you don’t even try in life you will never be successful. When you want to be successful as bad as you want to breathe then you be successful. Success is about developing personal wisdom and competence or what could be called personal mastery in the field you want to succeed in. Nothing is ever impossible to accomplish in life. You have to be determined that you can do the impossible. If you have determination you can overcome the adversities in life.…

    Because success is not easy to achieve for many, it becomes a priceless "commodity." Success becomes every person's dream or illusion. Some people respond to such a dream by taking action through the use of one's talents and strengths to grab it little by little along the course of their lives. A few have luck along their side and so are able to grab success on the large scale as a result of their hard work. Yet others choose not to respond and take a step towards the success they are aiming for. These people are the ones who are stuck in the rut and remain to dream their illusion of success.…

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” This quote shows how the pigs started out by running an animal friendly farm, but eventually they began to resemble the corrupt leaders they revolted against.…
