Anyone can work hard when they feel motivated. It's the ability to keep going when work isn't exciting that makes the difference.

I am no better than anyone else.

All of us fall short--never able to perfectly obey God. We may act it, say it, think of it but deep down in that sick heart, we are proud, self-righteous, indifferent, full of self.

We do, we speak, we live to impress and thus please ourselves. And God? Left out, nowhere to be seen because the glory is ours for a fleeting moment.

May our life's story be not this bland & blurry.

Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!

Ecclesiastes 6 : 9

How come that the Teacher discusses the futility of pleasure and work on the first part of chapter two then ended it as if contradicting his former arguments and concluding otherwise?

I trust that there is so much more to these verses...to this book of the Bible.

Seriously, even wisdom is pointless??

Chasing the wind is madness. The wind is real, it's there, we just don't know how, but why would a reasonable & sane man chase it?

The Teacher compared this madness to that of pursuing to learn everything, exploring and understanding everything being done under heaven. To devote human life for this cause of chasing to be omniscient or close to it (fueled not just by mere curiosity but surely by pride), even though we're not clueless that it's innately impossible because of our limited being...yes it's all real madness like chasing the wind. -MACCayas

"The key is to direct your effort toward areas that both excite you and match your natural skills, to align your ambition with your ability."
