All that glitters is not gold!

Have your ever wondered how it would be living someone else's life? May be this question comes to your mind either because the other person is better than you, or in a worse position or simply out of curiosity. I have a comment in my year book written by a classmate of mine. She, who shall not be named, wrote that in her next birth she will want to be me :) Flattered, I was, but that aside it was strange. Why would somebody want to be me?

Living the life of another person is not a good idea though simply because you are not meant for it. Every person has his or her own burden to bear. For example, you may see this person shopping at an upscale store and think what it would be to live that person's life and buying at that store. But think about it this way, may be that person has a 90k credit card debt, and is a complusive shopper. Thank god you are not in that place.

Everything that appears need not be what it is. As they say "All that glitters is not gold!" Always remember when life is not going too well, there is nobody who can handle it better than you. Never wish you were somebody else because that somebody would not be able to handle the tests of your life. And never ask for somebody else's life, because you won't be able to pull the load of their life!
