Endless Story

Received an E-MAIL from my french friend, Pablo, and again, generated a deep thought from within.  I was triggered with a feeling of happiness with my current status, as an independent lively girl, stepping into my fresh new career life, and walking on my own way. 

I paste these words below, and hope to share with you all.

Yeah, there is work, there is life, there maybe love, there maybe pain.  That's all what I want from life.

So let me tell you, there is no right way. There is your way. And as long as you are yourself and feel good that way, people will see you for who you are, and even a young Chinese movie star would not compete with you .

What I mean by quoting French example is that more and more people do not give time for themselves, and are more and more distant from other people, and spend more and more time at work, and are surprised they are alone. A good job is a good thing. But it has to allow you some time so you can fulfil yourself in some other ways beside work. Otherwise what is  the point of having a good job and a good salary? You must have time to enjoy it, and someone to enjoy it with.

So don't forget to give yourself time to enjoy life. Because in the end it is the only thing that matters. Some great men have acknowledged that, like JM Keynes (the economist) who, when in his deathbed, just before dying, when asked, looking back, what would he have done differently, he said he would have drunk more Champaign.

Thank you my friend!

Suddenly, Catter remembered those famous actor's lines from Trainspotting: 

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. … Choose your future. Choose life. But why would I want to do a thing like that?
