The Paradox Of Our Times Click for Next Slide  
Today we have bigger houses yet smaller families More convenience, but less time
We Have More degrees, but less common sense More knowledge, but less judgement
We have more experts, but more problems More medicine, but less good health
We spend too recklessly Laugh too little Drive too fast Get too angry too quickly Stay up too late Read too little Watch TV too much And are less considerate
We have multiplied our possessions, but have reduced our values We talk too much, love too little and lie too often
We have learned how to make a living, but not a life We have added years to life, but not life to years
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers  Wider roads, but narrower viewpoints We spend more, but have less We buy more, yet enjoy it less We have been all the way to the moon and back But have trouble crossing the road to meet our neighbours.  We’ve conquered our outer space, But not  our inner space We’ve split the atom But not our prejudice
We write more, learn less, ---------------------- plan more, but accomplish less we have learned to rush, but not to wait, we have higher incomes , but lower morals We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies But  have less personal communication We are long on quantity,  But less in quality These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion Tall men and short character
More leisure but less  fun - more kinds of food - but less nutrition Two incomes - but more divorce nicer houses - but broken homes
That is why I propose , that as of today , you do not keep anything for special occasions , because every day you live is a special occasion. Search for knowledge, read more. sit and admire the view without paying attention to your needs. Spend more time with your family and friends , eat your favorite food and visit the places you love .
Life is moments of enjoyment and not just about surviving. Drink from the finest crystal glass. do not save your best perfume or aftershave  but use it every day.
Remove phrases like  “ one of these days “  , “ someday”  and “not now” from your vocabulary write that letter you thought of writing  “ one of these days “ Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them. Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life . Every day , every hour ,  and every minute is special. As you do not know if they will be your last .
If you are too busy to take the time to send this message to someone you love or care about and instead tell yourself that you will send it  “  one of these days “ You will not be here to send it “  one of these days  “ believe me
