With my new job, I communite about 32 miles each way now. Fortunately, it is against the traffic so it is taking me only about 40 min. for the round trip. Not too bad.
Every other morning, I would exit Diamond Bar Blvd. and stop by the Fairway Starbucks for coffee (Coffee of the day only, since it is more economical).
On my way down the hill, I would always see a young hispanic lady walking from the top of the hill down the the bus stop. She looks like she's in college or something.
Also on my way down the Fairway hill, near Colima, I would also see a old HomelessAsian man in his 70s pulling his cart and camp near the bus stop.
And often, I see them talk and laugh sometimes before the Bus arrives and take the young lady away....
Knowing this, I realized how fortunate my life has been. And how, in a sense, meaningless drive for material goods has been.
I think I am beginning to see the greater picture now :)
Yup, we are all very fortunate. Look at how lucky we are. We still like material things, but the drive to become successful is not car you drive or what you wear. It is much deeper than that. You can like the material things but it should not be what drives you to become successful.
