Today a short quote from a little book which was a gift before I headed for Singapore:
“What does it matter
If man reaches his goal –
And gains the whole world
But loses his soul,
For what have we won
If in gaining this end
We’ve been much too busy
To be kind to a friend?”Helen Steiner Rice
The smileys are working again.
This morning, while on the way to work, noticed a motorbike at the traffic lights.
I have often wondered why motorists like to weave their way to the front of the lines whenever the traffic lights turned red, so that they are the first to go off when the lights changed. Surely not everyone on a motorbike is impatient? Although I have never owned a motorbike before, I have been told that it’s more than just wanting a head start on every one else. In fact, it is safer for the motorists because motorbikes have higher acceleration than cars, and motorists have less protection around them in case they get squashed in by cars.
Since I have been busily studying for my Financial Management exam for the past week, this quote about values and worth seems to have arrived at a most appropriate time:
“The real measure of wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all of your money.”
