Do we celebrate the peaks or the flatlands of our lives?

Marking personal milestones of our lives is important because it ushers in happiness and makes us feel proud of our accomplishments.We need to share these moments with friends, family and wellwishers because happiness when shared gets multiplied.However, the emphasis should be on marking these events than on what we do and how we do it. One can choose to light a candle and say a prayer,go out for a celebratory dinner, spend quality time with the family, go on a vacation, donate for a cause or go whole hog and throw a statemant making party reflecting your style and financial status.Whatever we choose to do we need to remember that even though these are important peaks of our lives we will be remembered not for these but the integrity and the attitude that we have maintained on a daily basis in our lives.Its the daily rigour of traversing the flatlands of our lives which in reality is the determinant of the success our life is rather than the the few and far between high points.
