The Things That Matter

One more of my Editorials.

Today, life has become a race. Everyone is running and running to win. Yes, it's a good thing, but are we losing out on - or should I say, completely forgetting - the things that really matter ?

How long is it since you
* saw a flower with dew drops on it,
* enjoyed the rain (without cribbing about your clothes
getting dirty),
* helped someone cross the road,
* sat down and actually enjoyed your cup of Coffee without
hurriedly gulping it down,
* sat down with someone and talked and laughed about
nothing.

...How long?

Are we really running the race of life, are we just losing out on things? On memories that really matter? Is it worth it? Think about it...

Take a break, I am not saying don’t run in the race of life.... just take some time off, sometime to enjoy the company of yourself, sometime to enjoy the miracles of nature, sometime to talk to your friends about nothing, sometime to just not worry about tomorrow and live today fully so you’ll have memories for a life time. Take sometime off …. Its worth it.

Don’t run through life.

Listen to the music of life before the song is over.

This post is nice..
But my concern is, i got this as a whimper to wats happening rite now and not just your point of view..
and if its not a whimper, then generate actions as in wat ur gonna take on, and ask for action steps from others..
Any idea is just a good, nice to hear slogan until any action steps are generated..

Thank god, thats wat i want :)
