Humans are like computer-based applications programmed for a specific reason or purpose and like these applications, humans are programmed with the innate drive to seek out and find the meaning of life. We often engage in conversation about life and what it really is and it comes to this single fact that life is a gift. Humans beings are granted this special gift, the gift of life and many do not appreciate it, life should be cherished and preserved.

The reality is everyone can succeed in whatever career path they chose whether it be medicine, law, education, politics, logistics, engineering or aviation. The question then stands are they truly successful or are they just being productive citizens?
