Thoughts!!! Something to think about In a university commencement address several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to ones other commitments: Imagine life as a game in which Ʊ are juggling five balls in the air. Ʊ name them work,family, health, friends & spirituality - & Ʊre keeping all of these in the air. Ʊ will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If Ʊ drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends & spirituality - are made of glass. If Ʊ drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. Ʊ must understand that & strive for balance in Ʊr life. How? Dont undermine Ʊr worth by comparing Ʊrself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Dont set Ʊr goals by what other people deem important. Only Ʊ know what is best for Ʊ. Dont take for granted the things closest to Ʊr heart. Cling to them as they would Ʊr life, for without them, life is meaningless. Dont let Ʊr life slip through Ʊr fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living Ʊr life one day at a time, Ʊ live ALL the days of Ʊr life. Dont give up when Ʊ still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment Ʊ stop trying. Dont be afraid to admit that Ʊ are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together. Dont be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Dont shut love out of Ʊr life by saying its impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose L
