Carpe diem - NOT!

A propos more, more, more!

I heard a commercial some time ago. It said things like "the average European travels more in one year than Magellan did in his whole life". I thought that was an original and catching approach.

Still, it ended with the many things you, average European, can do, and "In order to enjoy as many as them", you should chose some credit card.

Aha!

Here's a statement for this week: don't enjoy as much as possible! Make choices, put your imagination to work, be selective with what makes you happy, and don't throw yourself into mindless consumerism.

Because the most beautiful things in life cost nothing.


HERO OF THE DAY: The parrot, for thinking so lovely out of the box and for wanting to do the real thing.

And yet another commen: enjoy to the limit of enjoyment! Be sure that the day is less than you wish for, that you always keep a measure of dreaming to your realisation. This is a key to being happy - never being completely happy, and keeping a tiny bit of desire.
Huggy!

Hmmm....but what if you can't help it but be completely happy? Should you struggle for the tiny bit of desire or let yourself go?
