'Words of Wisdom'

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough! It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death. What's that, a bonus?!? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you go live in an old age home. You get kicked out for being too heathly, go collect your pension, then,when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party & you get ready for High School. You go to primary school, you became a kid, you play, you have no responsibilites, you became a little baby, you go back, you spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm!! Amen"

Use... this... in... life you will be successfull!

A beautiful quote !!!

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.
You name them -
Work Family
Health Friends
Spirit

and you're keeping all of these in the Air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it"
