Something to make you think...

[Guest guest]

In a university commencement address several years ago, Dyson, CEO

of Coca

Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one's other

commitments.

" Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the

air. You name them

--work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of

these in the air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it

will bounce back. But

the other four balls---family, health, friends and spirit--are made of

glass. If you drop one

of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or

even shattered.

They will never be the same.

You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How? Don't

undermine your

worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different

that each of us is

special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only

you know what is

best for you. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.

Cling to them as they

were your life, for without them, life is meaningless.

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or

for the future. By living

your life one day at a time you live ALL the days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really

over until the

moment you stop trying. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than

perfect. It is this

fragile thread that binds us to each together.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we

learn how to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The

quickest way to

receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too

tightly, and the best way

to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't run though life so fast that you forget not only where you've

been, but also where

you are going.

Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can

always carry easily.

Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Yesterday is History,

Tomorrow is a Mystery and Today is a gift....that's why we call it The

Present. "
