Life is like 2 guys climbing up 80 storeys of stairs.

There was once 2 brothers who live on the very top of a 80 storey building. One day, carrying lots of bags, they return home only to realise that their lift is out of service. So wasting no time, they decided to climb the stairs, hence the start of their journey.

For the first 20 storeys, the 2 brother clear them with ease. Chatting happily to each other about what happen recently and what they're going to do when they get home, thinking that climbing all these stairs will be a breeze. Then, still with their baggage on their back, they carry on for the next 20.

As they reach 40th storey, they begin to feel the weight of their baggage and started to complain & even quarrelled as they become very frustrated. Blaming each other for the mess that they're both in, they came to a conclusion and thus another decision was made to leave their baggage behind. They told each other that they will return to retrieve these bags later on.

With not much burdens left, they carry on climbing for the next 20. During this 20 storeys of torment, they become more and more tired, lesser and lesser complains & arguments. Eventually, they remain silent throughout as they struggle to the 60th storey. Finally, at the 60th storey, they both came to an agreement that this is not the way to do things. With only 20storeys left, they should encourage each other and help one another for the remaining journey.

And they did what they agreed upon on the 60th storey. With a more positive mind & a whole lot of encouragement, they finally reach the 80th storey. Both look at each other and smiled with a sense of satisfaction...

In front of the door, they looked at each other and...
"Quick take out the keys leh!" Elder brother told the younger one.
"Wasn't the keys with you?" Younger brother replied.
"ALAMAK! The keys I put them in your bag this afternoon lar!" Elder brother exclaimed. "Quickly search your bag leh!"

At that point then they both suddenly remembered & laughed at their own foolishness.

After reading this, I'm sure everyone have an rough idea why life is like 2 guys climbing up 80storeys of stairs yup?

As we were young, we intend to start of our own life's journey. With lofty aspirations & ambitions so huge, even a giant may pee in his pants. Like the 2 brothers, we carry these on our backs and effortlessly make our way through the fine years of our lives. As we grow older, these dreams became more than just dreams. These dreams became reality and dreams became goals. When we hit 40yrs old, we grew so tired pursuing these dreams n goals that we complain everyday and night, we let go of these dreams and go through everyday as the day comes. Survival becomes the main issue & everybody just wishes to conserve as much energy as they can to carry on the rest of their journey. When we hit the big "6-0", we retire and we begin to notice we actually need friends to support each other on the last few decades of our lives. Eventually, we begin to talk to each other and give each other encouragements. We realise the great importance of soul mates.
At the very end of our journey, when we all lie on our deathbeds, awaiting for our time to come. Then we start having flashbacks of our entire life, wondering if there is anything that is worth remembering for one last time. This is the time when most of us would think "oh! my baggage! all on the 40th storey. exactly where we left them when we're younger."

If only people can know the future, if only people can turn back time. Why say "if only" when the ancients left such valuable stories to remind people of all eras and ages to value our one and only life time?
