    With its twists and turns life is a roller coaster

    Has anyone ever been to an amusement park and experienced a ride on a roller coaster? A roller coaster ride leaves you dizzy as it speeds through the numerous twists and turns it encounters. Life is similar to a roller coaster ride. From childhood until old age, as we grow up, we encounter many twists and turns at every stage. Be it related to our health, education, property, the birth of a newborn or losing a dear one, we experience moments of happiness as well as sadness. Sometimes our life is on the upswing and sometimes downhill. It is how we deal with every situation that decides how well we are able to lead our lives. All this while, it is important to keep our balance. With its foolproof safety mechanism, the roller coaster does it pretty well and seldom fails. However, in life, we need to watch our every step. We should not get overly carried away when things are on the upswing and need not lose hope when things do not go that well. At times the corners may be too sharp and the turns precarious, but as long as we do not lose our balance and fall on the wayside, our destination is assured. When situations are desperate and we are under duress, it would do good to remember, just like the roller coaster, our lives too will one day coast through the harrowing twists & turns.

    The journey of life is full of challenges. The future is unknown and in a way unfolds in a mysterious way. Everyone tries to work hard and make a good career and future but the results are not commensurate with their hard work and vary significantly from individual to individual. That is the point where one has to have patience and tolerance for coping with the setbacks in one's life. The intriguing part of all this is that even with the same amount of effort the life of people differ from each other as regards the success and failure encountered in their respective journeys of life. So there are certain things that cannot be explained with simple logic and mathematical thinking. That is the point where the element of luck or fate or destiny enters our minds.

    Still, we should not deter the failures in our lives but take them sportingly and do our efforts again and again to reach our goals.

    Knowledge is power.

    That is correct. Almost everybody's life will have some twists and turns. Sometimes these twists and turns leave the individual in the gloom. Sometimes these twists will be because of our actions and sometimes due to fate or destiny whatever we call it.
    My cousin, a 55 years person, came back from the office. He just sat in a chair and waited for her wife to have a cup of tea. By the time his wife came, he was no more. The doctor said heart failure was the reason for his sudden demise. His mother, his wife and two daughters were directionless. His elder daughter who just finished her B.Tech got a job as a software engineer and God has shown them a way at least to avoid financial problems. Nobody can bring back that person.
    Like this many people may be experiencing many twists and turns in their lives.
