The title is quite catchy, isn’t it? Actually, I took the line from a popular song of the band Aerosmith. I don’t really exactly know what’s the songwriter trying to express. I just felt I want my own interpretation about it. You know, I been busy for the past few days and I guess writing this entry would relax and cool my nerves.
To make the point clearer in my mind, I tried to differentiate the word Journey and Destination. Basically, journey in its simplest form doesn’t mean there’s a specific point of destination. But, I guess, in a certain aspect there could be a destination but the route is not specific. But, when we say “destination”, there’s absolutely a certain destination or goal. So, the idea became clearer to me and I somewhat grasped what’s the meaning of it.
In reality, most successful people tend to practice the opposite. You know, most of them had this attitude of doing things only when it will help attain their goal. From birth, they’re living a pre-numbered life and following it religiously. It’s like they’re abiding the notion of “Work Hard Now, Happiness Later.” While, for those who go along with the idea, they tend to live a carefree life. Most of them have no specific goal in life and don’t burden their mind thinking about the future. They are the ones who happily entertained a one-day goal and not really a long-term planner. You know, enjoying everyday of their life just like taking a walk in the park. Of course, most probably they’re not going to be a successful individuals but I bet they’re the ones who will be having a happy and meaningful life. After all, why relies so much on your long-term plan when you don’t know exactly what tomorrow brings?
