In life, there is always something to achieve for everyone. So, there is a guy. A talented one. He knows literature, music, calligraphy and even arts. He is the best among the best. No one in the town does not know him.
As time passes, he started to question himself.
"Maybe I shouldn't trap myself in this town. I must travel around to fill in the gaps of knowledge."
Immediately, without any doubt he prepared his camera with his journal to become the witness of his journey away to the new environment. Full of passion, confidence, he started his journey from his town with the farewell of everyone.
"I shall be a better one and share my knowledge to the people whenever I go."
He walked off and his back was disappearing into the morning mist.
Second by second, hour by hour, day by day and week by week. He was exposed to lots of new things. He met philosophers, novel writers, artists and shared his knowledge with them. He thought he had gained much, but not until the day when he stepped into a village.
The village is just like any other village. The culture of the people and lifestyle might differ, but the community is nothing special. The village indeed did not impress him at all.
"Those are just merely fishermen but nothing."
That's what was playing in his mind. So, he did not want to waste his time at there, but he was attracted by the sunset lying on the horizon.
He sat at the seaside. Amazed by the breath-taking scene. It was like a painting with unlimited boundary lying in front of him. Suddenly, he was interrupted by a guy who was trying to join him to watch the beauty of the sunset.
"Such a beautiful scene."
"Yeah, a written poem is the best way to capture this scene but nothing else. Why don't us make this poem together?"
"Haha, no thanks. I do not know how to write or read."
He was shocked and he shake his head and said.
"Then too bad, you lost 1/6 of your life because you do not know how to enjoy the beauty of the literature in this world."
The guy kept quiet and closed his eyes feeling the cool breeze.
"How about painting? At least you can draw this scene out."
"I do not know how to draw. I'm just a fisherman."
"Then again, you have lost another 1/6 of your life. Art is the life and soul of the people and you do not even know a thing on it. So pathetic you are."
The guy smiled and did not reply anything, but he was not offended at that moment.
"How about calligraphy? You can write my poem, but wait I have forgotten that you do not know how to write. Mate, you just lose another 1/6 of your life which means you have lost half of you life."
He paused and silence engulf both of them. After few minutes, finally the guy broke the silence.
"Do you know how to swim?"
"Haha, of course no. Swimming does not bring any meaning in your life."
"Too bad then, you ARE GOING to lose your life in just few seconds."
A big wave is coming and that was the end of a non-swimmer of him.

Everyone has different values, personalities and talents. Everyone is gifted, in a different way. This is how God made the world so perfect.
