Saw this from the internet. Think about it :)
These days we have taller buildings
but shorter tempers, wider freeways,
narrower viewpoints, spend more, but have
less, buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses, smaller families,
more conveniences, less time,
more degrees, less sense,
more knowledge, less judgement,
more experts, but more problems,
more medicines, less wellness.
We drink too much, spend too recklessly,
laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry quickly,
stay up late, get up tired, read too little,
watch TV too much and pray too seldom.
We talk too much, love too seldom,
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 to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space.
We've done large things, but not better things.
We've cleaned the air, but polluted the soul.
We've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, not wait. We have higer incomes, lesser morals.
With computers, we have more information, but less communication.
We long for quantity, but short on quality. We have double incomes,
but more divorces, fancier houses, but broken homes. So where are we heading?
Perhaps, it's time to stop and reflect.
====================================================
Each of us has a bank. It is called TIME. Every morning, it credits you
with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost,
whatever you have failed to invest to good purpose.
It carries over no balance, it allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new
account for you. Each night, it burns the remains of the day.
If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back.
There is no drawing against "tomorrow". You must live on today's deposits,
Invest it to get the utmost in health, happiness and success!
To realise the value of ONE YEAR, ask the student who failed.
To realise the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth prematurely.
To realise the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realise the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers waiting to meet.
To realise the value of ONE MINUTE, ask the person who missed the bus.
To realise the value of ONE SECOND, ask the person who just avoided an accident.
Remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!
There are many To-morrows,
There is only one To-day.
====================================================
I love this one the most! Good one~ ;)
Today before you say an unkind word - think of someone who can't speak
Before you complain about the taste of your food - think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain of your husband or wife - think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
Today before your complain about life - think of someone who died too early on this earth,
Before you complain about your children - think of those who desire children but are barren,
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - think of those who are living in the streets and alleys,
Before whining about the distance you drive - think of someone who walks the same distance.
And when you are tired and complain about your job - think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - remember that not one of us is without faults.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - put a smile on your face and be thankful : You're alive and still around.
If you wake up breathing, congratulations!
You have another chance.
