Time is precious...make sure to make it worthwhile!!

Till this date, I have been motivated or rather influence by the old moral stories that I have learned during school times like "Slow and steady wins the race" and some poems like 'Leisure' which says "What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare". After all, we all have only one life (keeping rebirth apart); what we see now is a mad rat-race where nobody has time for anything. I hope at the end of this life, I should feel like it was worthwhile....

Right now I'm getting that feeling every moment I spend with my baby...that's the reason why I'm staying near to the office, so that I get more time to spend with her. I hear many colleagues complaining that they are not getting time with their babies n hence gets frustrated. I am happy that I took 1 year break to spend entirely with her seeing her developments day by day, different stages from crawling to walking.... kids grow very fast...1.5 years passed just like that; I still remember the day when I held her for the first time in my hands and now she is walking on her own, climbing chairs...they develop really fast. Others might feel that I have wasted my 1 year of career; of course a break is a break; but what I gained in between-the time with my baby is boundlessly precious. I can always cherish that and I'm happy.
