One day I will be there

When I was a child I always dreamed of traveling around the world and seeing how big it was.
Traveling is a very unique enjoyment for those who spent their lives without leaving their countries, and for those who did it is an enriching experiment.
I can't imagine how can someone spend his/her life without seeing what's out there. It is a very big world. But lets be realistic not all the people can leave their countries to see the world, sometimes because of the money, and sometimes because of their commitment to things like family and work.

Things are more complicated now. In the past people used to take all their needs and take a camel and travel simply to another country. Now you have to consider things like money, passport and residence.

I keep thinking of world with no boundaries. Is it possible?
One of my dreams is to go to Paris and to attend a soccer match in London and to see the Great Wall of China. One day I will do it Inshaallah, but before that I need to focus on my short-term goals.

Life is more than a few entertaining moments

Some people live their lives simply without thinking of tomorrow. Maybe it is good to live the moment without concerning about the future but how can someone live his/her whole life without a clear vision and with no planning of what is coming next.
Even babies make plans in order to get what they want.

I think it depends on whether we realize the reason of our existence in this life or not.
People who like to have fun all the time and refuse to take any responsibility in life are selfish and may not achieve anything valuable in their lives, because when you think of life seriously you find a lot of things that deserve your time more than having fun.
I am not saying people shouldn't enjoy their lives but they also should consider making a change in this life before they die.

I like to read about great people who made a change in this life like Ghandi and Nelson Mandila, and I like the idea that these people have suffered in their lives but continued their fighting to achieve their goals. I like to be one of them.

We always convince ourselves that we do our best but I am sure that we can do better and it is not important how big are the sacrifices we make as long as we leave our names engraved in history.
