I'll try to keep this brief and I'm probably screwing some of this up but anyway... 

There is an Arabian fable about a boy who comes to the king and asks him what the secret to life is. 
The king gives him a spoon filled with oil and has the boy hold it. He shows him one of the exits from the room and how there is a continuous tile pattern running down the center of the hall. He tells him to follow that tile stripe wherever it goes but do NOT spill any of the oil. The boy starts off and eventually comes back to the same room with the spoon. 

The king asks him, did you spill any oil? The boy says no, the spoon is full. Good says the king. 

Then the king asks, Did you enjoy the view of the lower valley of our kingdom from the balcony as you passed? The boy says, No, i sort of noticed it but I was concentrating on the spoon.

That's OK says the king, but surely you must have enjoyed the gardens, the path took you right through them? The boy says no, i don't remember passing through that area. I must have been staring at the tile path like you said to do. 

Hmmm, well what was your favorite piece of art on the walls? The boy, now a bit confused mumbles, I don't remember seeing those. 

Well, the king said, the secret to life is to not spill the oil as you walk your path but to enjoy all the views and gardens and artwork as you do it.

- Yes, you'll probably need a job, money makes things a lot easier. Kids are part of most people's picture. But salvation is free
