Life is like a text book

"Life is like a text book", he said..."It has an introduction and a conclusion", I thought. "Let's make of reading it an enjoyable experience", I told myself.
"Each new page we turn brings new events, some of them we expected, and some of them are part of the unknown. The past is the pages we read. We can still read through them. The future is the page we turn. The present is the page we are reading. We discover it bit by bit. ", I pondered.
"No body really knows the future but the writer of the book. We don’t get to write the life textbook but we get to play a role. Let's each then be the hero/heroine of our own stories...", I wondered.

That is what I learnt today.

In fact, I like reading. However, it never occured to me before that I could read my own textbook, too!! All these characters I've known...and never thought I could be one too.
After all, we all get a life. To be its hero is not given to every one. It's more the choice of some ones.

In the end, it does not really matter to be the hero (though perhaps preferable) as much as it matters to have a good reading.
