Journey of life in a glass of water.
Let's say, each person on earth, their hand holds a glass. From the beginning of everyone life's journey, the glass is empty.

Everyone is given a mission, a life mission to accomplish, to fill each of their own glass with water.

Just like many others, along the way of his life the experiences and learnings, he added droplets of water into his glass, a little by little.

Every drop of water collected were through all the constant pain and exhaustion.

One day, he finally managed to make his glass full with water, that he no longer able to fill more.

He felt proud and satisfied with his hard collected water. He stopped collecting water in many days after.

"I have collected all the water I want, I am supposed to have completed my life mission, but why I still seems to be not happy? Am I missing something?", he asked himself.

All this while he never really paid attention to the condition of water that he collected, just carelessly and impatiently, looked for water all these while.

Sooner, he realized, he was wrong all these while, that he did not realize that the water he collected all these while was actually water of impurities.

Feeling painful, that he actually sacrificed so much of effort and time, to fill the glass full. He is reluctant to let go of his hard earned water.

Eventually, it became too painful for him to bear that he had no choice to pour it all out. Started from scratch again to collect water with the glass, of course, more acute and smart to find better water. Sooner, the glass now filled with purer water.

Life is not just about filling the glass full of water. Life is a never ending cyclic process of collecting water, let go of water when it is full, learn from the past and start collecting again.

Every cycle teaches you a lesson in life and give a reflection to understand yourself more. Eventually, the water collected after every cyclic round will be purer and purer, nearer and nearer to what you truly wants in your life.
