| Today we have higher buildings and wider highways |
| But shorter temperaments and narrower points of view. |
| |
| We spend more, but enjoy less. |
| We have bigger houses, but smaller families. |
| We have more compromises, but less time. |
| We have more knowledge, but less judgment. |
| We have more medicines, but less health. |
| |
| We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. |
| We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much. |
| |
| We reached the Moon and came back, but |
| we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors. |
| We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space. |
| |
| We have higher income, but fewer morals |
| These are times with more liberty, but less joy. |
| We have much more food, but less nutrition. |
| |
| These are the days, in which it takes two incomes for each home, |
| but divorces increase. |
| These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes. |
| |
| THAT IS WHY I PROPOSE, THAT AS OF TODAY, |
| |
| You do not keep anything for a special occasion, because |
| everyday that you live is a SPECIAL OCCASION. |
| |
| Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch |
| and admire the view without paying attention to your needs. |
| |
| Spend more time with your family and friends, |
| eat your favorite foods, |
| visit the places you love. |
| |
| Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; |
| Not only about survival. |
| Use your crystal goblets. |
| Do not save your best perfume, |
| And use it every time you feel you want it. |
| |
| Remove from your vocabulary phrases like “one of these day” |
| And “someday”. |
| Let’s write that letter we thought of writing “one of these days”. |
| |
| Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them. |
| Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life. |
| Every day, every hour and every minute is special. |
| |
| And you don’t know if it will be your last. |
| If you’re too busy to take the time to send this message to |
| someone you love and you tell yourself you will send it “one of these days”. |
| |
| Just think ………. “One of these days” |
