Status message is one the coolest and revolutionary concepts introduced by the IM clients, I am more drawn to this concept by the Google Talk. I doubt if the creator of this feature had actually envisioned about it to this extent. Apart from conveying our status at work, availability to talk and mood, it gives a little more insight into the current lifestyle philosophy of the user - especially if he quotes something that he recently came across. All this introduction is to reinforce my finding of a status message which reads as: The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
The important things to remember about the above quote are the words 'wisely' and 'earnestly'. I had been hitting on such stuff from childhood and always read through it superficially. So I never ingrained such things. It sounds clichéd when you just say someone to forget the past, don't worry about the future and live in the present. It adds more sense when it is said to live in the present wisely and earnestly. Very rarely I follow something good earnestly and I always skim over such concepts in life. To live the present moment is to feel the finer details of life and learn to flow with reality. It also means to truly cherish, if not all events, the great moments experienced. These events are to be cherished because all these happened with us are real and thus should be very clear about their irrevocability.
[ This thought process was also partly inspired by the movies 'The Notebook', 'Reign Over Me' and 'Once'. This post could be because of this movie overdose all of which either convey or showcase the relations from a heavier angle. I doubt if such a thought process in me is actually in sync with generally accepted normality of humans. I would hate it being interpreted in any other way. ]
We learn something every day, and lots of times it's that what we learned the day before was wrong.
