The "Ruler"

Visualize your life in the shape of a ruler. A 100-centimeter ruler. Figuring that you will live to be a hundred, where are you now? How much of the ruler's length have you covered? About a half? Less than a half? More than a half? Are you nearing the end? Wherever you see your life to be at, you can ask yourself the same questions: "How have I lived up to now? Am I satisfied with what I have done, with the results achieved so far?" No matter where you are "on the ruler", you still have a certain number of centimeters to cover. You don't know how many, but this is not the point. The point is that today, right "now" you are here wondering. Therefore, you are still able to do something, i.e. change an attitude or fix a problem, improve a situation, achieve a little more, offer an extra smile, stretch your helping hand a little further...
