Often I hear the phrase, sky is the limit. I wonder what it really means. Either that there actually is a limit or one just say that you are unlimited because sky is far away at unlimited distance. It has often been said along with what one can achieve or one can do in life. While growing up, going to school and then college, everyone is given this lesson that if you work hard and do good in your studies and become a professional then once you have attained the education and your equipped with the necessary experience then 'sky is the limit' to what you can do. Alas, we forget something which is so important and that is the fact that 'time in limited'. You may reach the skies if you were given unlimited time but that is not the case. So what you can achieve in life and what you can do is bound by 'time'. And time by no means a simple factor in the equation, it is a killer. The reason its a killer because a person dies when the time expires. So the game of life no wonder has unlimited levels and unlimited fruits and bounties and whatever you can collect when you are equipped with the right tools, time expires. I then wonder where can you use the phrase 'sky is the limit' when its actually not even a right phrase at least not from the perspective of humans. Its a demoralizing goal which can never be achieved and thus showing you the realities of life.
