I have read a story about a commander who led his troops to the enemy’s camp. They came with their boats—it was a long journey. As they looked over the hill, they saw the enemy.: their camp, their ammunition and their ships. They noticed one thing…They were completely outnumbered. With a feeling of desperation and anxiety, the troops met to strategize for the next day. Early morning, with the troops assembled, he commanded his special forces to BURN THEIR BOATS. They were going home riding their enemy’s ships or they don’t go home at all. Oh what a guts.

It is but natural for human beings to sometimes go out our way and impress other people like having a mobile phone and television with high-end features, having a luxurious car, having expensive clothes wear, and some even built houses bigger than their needs. Of course, this is all part of progress in terms of modernization and economic development. But we can have a simple lifestyle if we can only our wants in life.
