Quote of the day

"When you will be on your deathbed, you sure will NOT wish that you spend more time working."

This is the hard truth, but it needs to be said. In this fast moving modern world, we all feel obliged to put in more hours, more efforts, eking to become and remain more relevant in relation to what is popularly perceived as being successful. In this pursuit, we end losing touch with what actually brings us peace and happiness. The things that we really love doing.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying that working is not important but rather, putting emphasis on the importance of striking a balance between what we have to do, work, and what we love to do.

Life is to short to focus most of our energies towards what we do because we have to, rather than what we do, not only because we always want to but even more, love to do, for the joy and serenity it brings us.

Am I making sense?

Several alert Egyptian citizens alerted authorities to what was reported as a 'spy duck' with a surveillance device, or bomb, on its back. Authorities arrested the bird, a French research subject. When a veterinarian established the device was, in fact, a tracker, and the bird was, in fact, a stork, police moved to release the bird. The stork's whereabouts are unknown, but last anyone heard, the stork was waiting for the prosecutor to sign off on its release. But that's not the strangest animal accusation Egypt has made...
