I
have no doubt that as we get older many of us observe time differently; for
some people time can race, or it can drag interminably, and in rare situations, it
feels as if it stands still. Sometimes,
the difference between the time measured by clocks or calendars and our own perception
seems to be enormous, which leads us to believe that indeed we are the true architects
of our ‘sense’ of time.
With
that in mind, I believe that’s helpful to ponder upon some timeless concepts,
while we walk the path of life….here are few thoughts…
-
Carefully choose priorities in life; look for meaningful references (instead of trendy ones) & live by
them
-
Seek to stay near wise people if you wish to become like them; “madmen” could be
spectacular, frothy, interesting, but their spectacularity lasts as long as the
bubbles of champagne (don’t count on them)
-
Read, observe, analyze; you do that to train yourself, not just to be informed;
weather you use what you’ve learned in school or not, it is less significant…what
really matters is what you’ve became
-
Be modest and humble; the light inside you just needs to be shown, not
trumpeted (in darkness it will illuminate,
anyway)
-
Respect your parents and teachers; whatever you might consider, on their shoulders you
grew up
- Have Faith…this is the only absolute in a vast ocean of relative
- Last, but not least, take care of your health when you still have it, otherwise when you don't have it anymore you would need to take care of your illness (how sardonic!).

late so soon? / It’s night before it’s afternoon.
December is here before it’s June. / My goodness how the time has flown!
How did it get so late so soon?” (Dr. Seuss)
