After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags then and climbed on. When they have struggled to the 40th level, the younger brother started to grumble and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the flights of steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.

They then realized that they have only 20 levels more to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at long last. Each stood calmly before the door and waited for the other to open the door. And they realized that the key was in their bags which was left on the 20th floor.

This story is reflecting on our life.many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when young. We seldom get to do the things that we really like and love and are under so much pressure and stress so that by the age of 20, we get tired and decided to dump this load.

Being free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and dream ambitious wishes. But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We began to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live life as a misery as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining anymore, and we began to walk the final episode in peace and calmness.

We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only to realize that we could not rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream .. a dream we abandoned 60 years ago.

So what is your dream? Follow your dreams, so that you will not live with regrets.

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

I found the solution at http://blog.kovyrin.net/2006/11/28/debian-problem-apt-get-update/

The solution is to try

#apt-key update

Apparently this didn’t work. Then I tried

#apt-get install debian-archive-keyring

This worked fine. There is more info at http://www.debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/11

I often wondered what the anecdotal signs were that pessimism was at its peak in the housing market and I have come up with these

1. Follow the professionals: If the builders who have completed condominiums find they cannot sell and instead rent them out as apartments it is a good time to buy
2. Sellers resign to getting lower prices: If many sellers are getting lower prices than they paid for their homes prices have reached their bottom. In 1995 about 30% of sellers in California sold homes for lower prices than they bought them
3. Real Estate agents are pessimistic: A friend who bought a home in the mid-nineties in the Bay Area said that realtors predicted that prices would only rise 1%-2% a year.
4. The mortgage payment-rent ratio is close to 1: is A relative who bought a small home in San Jose slightly larger in size than the apartment she was renting in the mid-nineties said the mortgage payment was about 25% more than her rent.
5. There are forced sellers in the market: Foreclosures were at a peak in California around 1995-1996.
