man with a dream & life with a purpose

We chase our dreams and be happy when it is realized.
What happens when we dont realize dreams? We are unhappy..
Strangely though.. sometimes we are unhappy on not realizing the dreams.. even having exceeded it!!!

There was a man who had a donkey. He had the donkey for his daily travels and for transporting things. He was always dreaming of owning a bullock cart with two bullocks on it. He fantasized everyday how he would live when he owns the cart. He simulated the bullock cart ride on his donkey and hoped for one day to realize it on his own bullock cart. He could never buy one and days were passing. One day on his way he had to cross a water body and his donkey was good enough to do that. At the same time there was a Noble man with a luxury Tanga trying to cross the same water body. His Tanga was so luxurious that it was not fit to cross the water. The Noble man, desperate to reach his destination offered to exchange the Tanga for the donkey and the deal happened. The man tried a long route with his new possession of Tanga and proceeded further. The Tanga was faster and comfortable. Man proceeded along and stopped by a Governor on the way. Governor wanted an open roof vehicle for a formal city visit. He pledged his car with the man for his Tanga. The deal happened. The Governor's men lost the Tanga after the city visit & man retained his pledged possession. He drove the car further and offered transport to few people for some money for the fuel. He saved few money and went on to buy more cars for hire and became rich. ...
and one day someone asked him.. what was his unrealized dream..!
...He regretfully expressed his dream to own that bullock cart & to try those riding skills that he fantasized with his donkey..!!!!!

Life without a purpose and life without dreams couldn't be exciting.
Sometime we exceed our dreams and live a reality beyond that.
Still...if didn't dream them... it is that 'bullock cart' that lingers on ..!
