C'est la vie That's life

Info

"The trouble is you think that you have time." Well ! This says it all. We all live under this fact that we have enough of time to accomplish anything we desire. This thought goes right too with some , but only with some exceptional beings who are superhuman. Not us, the ones who are the slow fliers of their airplane. You must have got , here time is referred to as airplane.
We are taught from our very childhood that Time and tide wait for none. And some more fancy things about time. But we don't agree to it. We don't agree to it as we are kids then. We just laugh it off and move on. But when you grow old, with time , that shit starts getting real. You feel Damn this time! Time runs like anything and we are barely able to catch up with it. But that's life.

You know when when we were young, life felt so sorted. Our only goal would be getting hot wheel tracks for the birthday present and playing up with it all day long. Our joys knew no boundaries when suddenly our parents would buy us a pretty doll. And summer vacation afternoons were so fun with the little cutlery with the friends. While we were small, a day used to feel like so Goddamn big.
And the situation is totally contradictory now.
Our days just pass and we keep figuring out where this time has gone.

We all in our early twenties have some or the other plans regarding the future. We have enough energy, time and money . The race is about to begin here at this very instance. And as it begins everything is going good. Equally balanced energy, time . But, a little ahead you will see your energy lacking a little behind the time. And  sooner or later you will see the time much ahead of your energy.  You will find yourself helpless yet you would be Anxious to do anything to bring them back to the same pace. You will put a bit of  your blood and sweat to do it but a bit won't really work.

Well! this is the way you had worked, And you are working. But is this really what you call it blood and sweat?

There are two kinds of people out there. The ones who are discussed above, the superhuman kind of people. They are so goal stricken that every bit of their talk, walk, is calculated. Everything they do is calculated and has some or the other purpose. The second ones are insouciant. They live moment to moment life. They are slow workers yet they achieve something or the other they ask for. Although slow but they do it ultimately.

The insouciant people usually get so slow that they start questioning their worth. They start doubting their ability. They dont have a thousand plans on their minds. But They have a few and, all of them are masterpieces, i swear! They just have their own way to do the work. I feel the following  line would be perfect to finish this up,
Its not about who did it first or who did it last,
As the definition of the whole journey is different for the both. For some it is a mere number, while for others it is utter destined way.
