"But when you find sothing to care about, and you care deeply enough, that thing becos your responsibility"
"Then that responsibility is what drives you to beco more than what you already are, but where the danger lies is after you have beco what you aim to beco"
"Good is the enemy of better, and better is the enemy of the best" Min Hong stated..
"Why most people fail in life is because they set a bar for themselves, and once they overco that bar, they stay and relax there, forgetting that the world as it is never stops moving onwards..."
"Then as the world progresses, their bar decreases in value, and thus, such a person is said to be regressing, and this is because that person's sense of perception is too shallow to comprehend how much the world advances"
"You were once an orphan whose goal is to simply find the next al, and whilst that was a reasonable bar to set for yourself at that point, so other orphan's goal at that sa point was to leave the slums and get a better life; but there is no cri in that, it's just that the sense of perception between you two isn't equal"
"But then you got brought into the city, and now the experiences you have had here then sharpened your sense of perception and made you realize that the world of a city life is far advanced than that of the slums"
"It would be the sa when you live in the Imperial Capital, and then your sense of perception would grow even sharper, and you will realize that living an Imperial lifestyle is a world much more advanced than that of the City life"
"The sa thing would occur again when you reach the Divine Sage Sect, and move further"
"But the point is, the world keeps moving and soone who lives their lives in the pattern I just explained would at best live an average life; and this is because whilst the person was busy living a city life, the Imperial capital keeps advancing, and that ans it would be impossible for such person to even catch up with those who were living such Imperial lifestyle"
"So that begs the question; how did those who were born in the slums live a more successful life than those who were born in the Imperial Capital?"
"The answer lies in one word, bother;"
"Dreams!"
"Your background might affect your goals and aim Your upbringing might affect your aims and goals"
"Many physical, ntal and emotional factors might affect one's goals and aims in life, but no matter how hard they try, they can never affect one's dreams, and do you know why?"
"Because our dreams is deeply rooted in our souls and spirit, and is out of reach to any physical or external factor"
"A poor orphan who dreams of becoming an Emperor has a better future than a rich kid who dreams of becoming a King"
"Dreams aren't bound by being rich or poor, anyone can dream as big as they want, and once they take responsibility to make that dream a reality, even the skies won't be able to hold back such a person"
"Aims and goals are short term brother, but dreams are lifelong"
"So which are you making your priority, your goals or your dreams?"
Min Hong stoned Gong Yi with several life lessons, before he went quiet and relaxed whilst Gong Yi ruminated on everything he had just heard;
"Dreams unh?" Gong Yi muttered to himself
Of everything Min Hong had said, he had only picked three things; The advantage of having a sharp sense of perception of the outside world;
Not only taking one responsibility, but finding more to carry so as to better himself;
Then Finally, giving more priority to his long term Dreams than his short term goals and aims
Whilst the duo were busy having this conversation, little did they know that the youth who was driving their carriage was listening to their entire conversation, and Min Hong would never know until deep into the future how much influence and help he would receive in return for changing the youth's life
The entire carriage was silent till they returned to the Desolate Zone, and the mont they alighted from the carriage, Min Hong and Gong Yi were greeted by Huan Ji, Wei Nian and about 12 other Saint Stage level experts;
"Leader!"
The group chorused the mont Min Hong alighted as they all went down on one knee whilst bowing slightly, but Min Hong had been so affected by the conversation they had on their way here that he was neither happy nor sad at what he was seeing;
'We still have about 6 hours till its dusk' Min Hong thought to himself before making a decision;
"Huan Ji, take this" Min Hong threw 5,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones into the carriage before continuing;
"Pick six people from this group, return with the carriage to the registration area, and purchase six first class citizenships for them"
"Once you are done with that, et at the penthouse"
Min Hong instructed and stepped on his flying sword whilst Gong Yi followed suit as the group watched with slack jaws as Min Hong entered the penthouse
Not only were they stunned by how Min Hong dished out 5,000 mid-grade spirit stones like it was nothing, but the fact that he was also wealthy enough to purchase a royalty class citizenship, and when one added that to his level of strength and consider his age all simultaneously, then the current reaction of the group wouldn't be so farfetched
Huan Ji did as he was told whilst the rest of the group waited for them
Min Hong on the other hand returned to his living room where he put off the barrier, allowing life and nature to seep into the room;
~Hu~
'I hope I didn't say too much'
He thought to himself and felt lethargic for so reason and imdiately thought about the princess, even though he didn't realize why she was the first person to co to mind and not Min Qing, Min Rou or Qing Tan
Huan Ji returned after an hour, and Min Hong had all of them move into the sa First Class apartnts of the sa building in pairs and when they all settled in, he had Huan Ji gather them all for a quick eting at the penthouse
