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 judgement
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 less 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 salaries for each home, but divorces increase
These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes
That’s why I propose, that as of today
You do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day 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 days� 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.
