Embrace Values
My friend, Lee, sent me a You.Tube video today. He said it was “worth your time and thoughts.” I agree!.
It was narrated by a guy with a wonderful British accent. I bet it was created several years ago.
The words in blue below are his. The red is my editorial comment about that item!
Whether you wear a $300. or a $3. watch,
they both tell the same thing.
But the whole deal is, this watch does so much more than tell time!
And it costs way more than $300. . Price tag = $539.98
Whether you carry a $300. or a $30. handbag,
the amount of money inside is still the same.
This one actually is a
$2,350. Guggi
If you buy it, you’ll certainly
have less money to put inside!
Don’t you have better things to do with your money??
Whether we drive a $150,000. car or a $30,000. car,
the road and distance are the same…
and we get to the same destination.
But, the Ferrari is so much more fun!
And you can certainly go faster!
(If you survive at those speeds, that is)
Whether you drink a bottle of $300. or a $10. bottle of wine,
the hangover is the same.
But Wine Spectator Magazine says, “It’s not as if wines that cost $10. or less are going to make you feel bad, or that wines that cost over $50 are never going to give you a hangover… How much wine you consume is the biggest variable…” So, in both cases, it’s the whole bottle? Not a good idea regardless of the price!
Whether the house you live in is 300 sq. ft. or a huge mansion with 30,000 sq. ft.,
loneliness is the same.
Yes, you can be lonely in a shack or you can be lonely in a castle. The size of the house has little to do with it. But, remember loneliness and alone are two different animals. Just because you’re alone doesn’t mean you have to be lonely. And just because you have a kajillion people around you doesn’t mean you feel loved. It has nothing to do with the size of your house… it’s the size of your heart!
Whether you fly first or economy class,
if the plane goes down – you go with it.
True! But aren’t some seats safer than others? An article in the Huffington Post – when asked about the safest place to sit to a plane – wrote this, “Each incident or crash is unique. Impact could come from a nosedive, a water landing, or a runway collision. As a result there is no safest seat.” The good news in that article, though, is “Air travel is the safest form of transportation in the country.” Bon Voyage!!

In that same video sent to me this morning by my friend, Lee, this interesting addition was included:
Five Undeniable Facts of Life
- Don’t educate your children to be rich;
Educate them to be happy, so when they grow up,
they will look for the VALUE of things, not the price.
2. Eat your food (a balanced diet) as your medicine
otherwise you will have to eat medicine as your food.
3. The ones who love you will never leave you for another
because even if there are 100 reasons to give up,
s/he will find one reason to hold on.
4. There is a big difference between a human being
and being human… Only a few really understand it.
5. You are loved when you are born.
You will be loved when you die.
In between, you have to manage.
Love
Laugh
You have to manage!
May as well manage joyfully!
Embrace Values
and live the good life…
then…
When your sunset comes,
You will have no regrets!
Good night, my friends.
See ya tomorrow (God willing)
Love,
JanBeek
