Skipping what ?

In my life, I not only skip whatever i don't like but also many that I may like. Because life is limited. You can not catch everything. It is something like gold rush. I'm sure there may be some gold beads among the sands on the beach. But I don't have any interest in this rush, unless that is the only thing i can do. Why? This rush is full of too many exausting and frustrating and decouraging things. At the end, when you got the bead (if you are lucky), you are already old and weary and you have lost your passion. Then what is the use of this bead.
