Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, “I love you, and I wish you enough”. The daughter replied, “Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom”. They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated.

You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit, and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls: family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How? Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we’re different that each of us is special. Don’t set your goals too high by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Don’t take for granted things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would life, for without them, life is meaningless. Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living life only one day at a time,

The HR manager interviewed him, then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You are employed,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as the date when you may start.” The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, nor an email.” “I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “If you don’t have an email, that means you do not exist.
