Listing it Out

Going Off

 

Tomorrow I will go off for a short break since God knows when. I hope I can switch off my working brain. The past two weeks has been filled with reminders on the fragility of life and the need to live one’s life to the fullest; to appreciate that one single life you have. 

Despite my reluctance, how the break came to be (free tickets wohoo!) was just another reminder from the Universe for me to take a damn break from the constant need to make a living and live my life.

I have nothing legal related to say about, not at this moment. Given that I am going off to live a little in a few hours, perhaps a list of truism and cliches on life that I have read, heard or discovered (belatedly) will do.

 

• Work is part of life, it is not the total sum of your existence.
• The bigger/ longer the Serban the more cautious you should be of the things coming out of the wearer’s mouth.
• Titles are just labels. Just as items can be mislabelled, so can an undeserving be bestowed a title.
• You can’t always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you might find you get what you need (re: the song by The Rolling Stones)
• Every problem has two handles. Choose the one you can handle the problem with.
• When in doubt, do an online file search on a successful case that matches your own (This one just came to mind)
• Bigger you are the harder you fall (Lose that fat!)
• Dependency on substances are crutches for the  perfectly upright.
• Nasik tastes better with a dollop of tempoyak and ground up cili api but;
• Everything (and everyone) has its price. Make sure yours is the kind no one would be willing to pay.
