But you're right, you can't live forever on this planet, so it wouldn't be smart if you would play chess behind your computer for a hundred years😛

Back when I was young(er), a simple and semi-common event changed my life. I saw a shooting star. At that perticular moment in time I decided that I should live my life like that shooting star. All of the stars in the sky appear every night, time after time. There is little distinguishable between one and another, atleast not without looking closesly and few people do so. Then there was that shooting star. It was gone in a moment, never to be seen again. It would not be out every night like the other "stars". Nonetheless.....I will always remember that star. It stood out. It lit up the sky and made people for miles around hope it would carry their wishes into life. It brought a smile to many faces staring into the sky that night, mine but one of them.
My friends, I am not concerned with how long I live on this planet. I am only concerned with that I shine brightly during the time that I am here. 🙂

It's the similarity in our perception of ......... anyway, I think you know what I meant. Call it poetic license if you will (either that or the perception of a small child). 😀
