RULES FOR LIFE

Seconds are passing away. Every minute is one less to enjoy life.
For sure there are still so many things you would love to do before leaving this world; once you get 65 or 70 years old maybe you don’t have the health to do the things you wished to do since so many years. In order not to fall into this error the wisest thing to do is to make a project for your life.

Another recommendation is to organize your time. You may get surprised to know how easy it is to get an important executive in your company or to be an important politician in your favourite political party. All consists in deciding it. The price to pay is not cheap, I can promise you that.
To be successful, the most important thing is an adequate distribution of your time.
We can distribute our time in the following aspects; Rest (to sleep), family (wife & children), friends and social life (neighbours, clubs etc.), work and yourself (sports, hobbies, study, read books etc.). An adequate distribution is a guarantee for quality of life and self-satisfaction, as well as a very satisfactory familiar atmosphere. To get to be an important executive or politician, you will have to emphasize on several aspects, normally on work and friends, deleting time for your family and yourself. Think about it.


Every day I receive plenty of mails with spam, jokes, junkmail etc. Some years ago I received the following one, worth while to make some reflexions.
