Life's Meaning

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - A comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

A Message by George Carlin:


The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

• Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
• Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
• Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
• Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. An embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
• Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

George Carlin

Self-Confident and Self-Respect

Cannot say this any better myself ...

We all have our own VALUES...!!

Wisdom

This is absolutely correct.... No short cuts!!

Wisdom

In life, if we can't change the situation, 

find another way and do not resist...!!

Expectation

"It is not about how good you are, 

it is about how GOOD you want to be!"

- A tribute to Paul Arden

You are a Shining Star

"When you wish upon a star, your dreams will take you very far.....

When you wish upon a dream, life ain't always what it seems.....

What you'd see on night of clear, in the sky so very dear.....

You're a shining star, no matter who you are....!!"

Life's Meaning

Come across this beautiful lyrics to share with you:

陀飛輪 by Eason Chan

過去十八歲　沒戴錶　不過有時間

夠我沒有後顧　野性貪玩

霎眼廿七歲　時日無多方不敢偷懶

宏願縱未了　奮鬥總不太晚

然後突然今秋

望望身邊　應該有　已盡有

我的美酒　跑車　相機　金錶　也講究

直到世間　個個也妒忌　仍不怎麼富有

用我尚有　換我沒有　其實已用盡所擁有

曾付出　幾多心跳

來換取一堆堆的發票

人值得　命中減少幾秒　多買一隻錶

秒速　捉得緊了

而皮膚竟偷偷鬆了

為何用到盡了　至知哪樣緊要

勞力是無止境

活著多好　不需要　靠物證

也不以高薪　高職　高級品　搏尊敬

就算搏到　伯爵那地位　和蕭邦的雋永

賣了任性　日拼夜拼　忘掉了為什麼高興

曾付出　幾多心跳

轉載來自

來換取一堆堆的發票

人值得　命中減少幾秒　多買一隻錶

秒速　捉得緊了

而皮膚竟偷偷鬆了

為何用到盡了　至知哪樣緊要

記住那關於光陰的教訓

回頭走天已暗

你獻出了十吋　時和分

可有換到十吋金

還剩低　幾多心跳

人面跟水晶錶面對照

連自己　亦都分析不了　得到多與少

也許　真的瘋了

那個倒影　多麼可笑

靈魂若變賣了　上鏈也沒心跳

銀或金　都不緊要

誰造機芯　一樣了

計劃了　照做了　得到了　時間卻太少

還剩低　幾多心跳

還在數　趕不及了

昂貴是這刻　我覺悟了

在時計裡　看破一生　渺渺
