Whats life all about?

This is the time of my life when allocations have to happen. I will get my geo and like all i am also excited about whats going to be mine. In the process of geos, suddenly i was told of an opportunity and i was interviewed for the same, things went fine and to an extent i was ok given that reporting and work was structured, and there was a lot to learn. But then this was opportunity created by time, i was keen to introspect why was i replacing an MBA who has worked hard for two years and has been phenomenol in earning a 100 Million dollar deal. I wanted to know and i wanted to talk, so i just went ahead. As life will have it, there was this world which was falling apart, and somewhere the job, central London and 2 years of work just did not make sense. After listening to her story, i was speechless for sometime. I just knew that hats off to the lady and i also knew that sometimes everything in life just looks small. One of the days in my life when i just knew that i am human and any opportunity which time creates might not make me happy unless it keeps all in that time space happy. Suddenly i dont want to replace her. Its her fort, she has built it, i want time and life to give her the due. I was left thinking, why does life test us and test us so badly at times. People say business runs, decisions happen, but then in the end everything else will go away, what will remain is the spirit of being there when you are needed the most. I dont know about the geo and i dont care, but I made a very good friend today and i am sure we will remain friends for rest of my life. As it is in all my work life, i have earned friends, everything else comes in CV which will stop making a difference some day in my life.
So Friend!! Cheers to life and i am sure you will just pass this test of life as you passed IIMs and many more. :)
