Life: The roller coaster ride.

They say life is just like a roller coaster ride. If that's true, I am on the most boring roller coaster ride ever. I wake up every morning, go to the office/class, waste my day there and then I don't have energy left for anything else to do. I mark days on calender just to know how many days are left till the next weekend. On weekends, I have too many things to do (or just watch Formula1).  Doesn't seem like a roller coaster ride, does it?

Now lets go back to the amusement park. Back to the roller coaster. Remember how the ride starts? It has to gain kinetic energy. The formula for kinetic energy is.. this is not a physics class! The point is that you have to go up first. Remember that part of the ride? There is nothing too special about that part of the ride itself. Just like the life I am living today. But what do I do? Sit there and say that this is the most boring roller coaster ride? Of course not! I smile and my heart beats like a drum. And the only reason behind that is that I am sure that this is going to end soon. Once I am on the top, this is going to change. This is going to be one exciting high speed ride. But for that I will have to take all this pressure and rise to the top.

Now life isn't forever. I should know where the 'top' is. Or life would be topless. In some cases that would be better, but that's not all you want. I know I should be getting back on track. The point is, that you should know where the top is. Where your ride should begin. Where all the tension goes and you just take that high speed ride. The problem: Most of us don't even know where the top is. We don't have an idea that life isn't just going up but the ride too.

We need to sit down and think about it. We need to decide where the top is, how we are going to reach there and what is our ride going to be after that. It is not as easy at it sounds but it certainly is possible. It wouldn't take you long to describe your friend but when asked to describe yourself, you'll probably say your name (or your cell phone number, depending on who asks).

Once  you know what the top is, you need to decide what kind of ride do you want. After being at top you deserve the ride. Imagine someone throwing you down just when the ride is about to start. And that's you yourself. 

Moral: Life IS a roller coaster ride. Its up to you to make the ride more interesting than just going to the top at snail pace.

And once you decide where the top is, stick to it. Because life never is perfect. You can always say "Hokai! This is good but what if the top is a little higher?". And that way you may always be following the top and miss the bottom where all the fun is!

Moral-2: Know where the top is. Know where the fun should start.
