No Boundaries...

Maybe we've heard this line so many times such as cars, money, power, sex, love in many ways people don't like to set their limit on it. We're a rebellist mamals :) but then have we ever think bout somethin really is no boundary in this life that we might gain. I remembered to one story, enclosed here :

The question: in 1923, who was:
1. President of the largest steel company?

2. President of the largest gas company?
3. President of the New York Stock Exchange?
4. Greatest wheat speculator?
5. Great Bear of Wall Street?

These men were considered some of the worlds most successful of their day. After 80 years passed, the history book asks us, if we know what ultimatelybecame of them? Here are the answers:

1. The president of the largest steel company, Charles Schwab*, died a pauper.
2. The president of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson*, went insane.
3. The president of the NYSE, Richard Whitney*, was released from prison to die at home.
4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger*, died abroad, penniless.
5. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Livermore*, also committed suicide.

However, in that same year, 1923, the PGA Champion and the winner of many most important US Open golf tournament, was Gene Sarazen. He played golf until he was 92, died in 1999 at the age of 95. He was financially secure at the time of his death.

My opinion, sport, art and music have no boundaries, whole world will give the same standard even though we might speak a whole different language, life standards, custom, etc. Appreciation was given by International standard comparison. But can money, economics, politics make the idiom of all Master Piece and Unique style for those talent. All of those aren't compared with our own culture and language, our own closed nevironment where it often disguise our opinion about everything.

I hope i have the talent to start with some of that, I was raised with less art appreciation, less sport desire, tone deaf naturally comes to be my blessing :) Work and gets all the money we can have to guarantee our better future was all that matters. I do also have to admit that some sports and art are not well appreciated as they should be in my country. All that experience really close my eyes, influence my opinion, disguise my decision of wonderful short life. I'm losin my sense to somethin that we can called true happiness, everlastin gift. Who should be blame? .... HAHAHAHA.... Start to change your apprecitation, change ur life... we'll never be to old for some good headed changes.

*. All names are not perfectly guaranteed right, had it from many forwarded email. Just take the moral of the story. Good Luck in Life.
