Paradox Of Our Times
Click for Next Slide 
Today we have bigger houses and smaller families
More conveniences , but less time
We have more degrees, but less common sense
More knowledge , but less judgment
We have more experts, but more problems
More medicine, but less wellness
We spend too recklessly
Laugh too little
Drive too fast
Get too angry too quickly
Stay up too late
Read too little
Watch too much TV
And pray too seldom
We multiplied our possessions, but reduce our values

We talk too much, love too little, and lie too often
We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life
We’ve added years to life, not life to years
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers
Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints

We spend more, but have less
We buy more, enjoy it less

We’ve been all the way to the moon and back
But have trouble crossing the street to meet our neighbors.

We’ve conquered outer space,
But not inner space

We’ve split the atom
But not our prejudice
We write more, learn less, ---------------------- plan more, but accomplish less
We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait,
We have higher incomes , but lower morals
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies
But have less communication

We are long on quantity,
But less on quality

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion
Tall men , and short character
More leisure and less fun ,,,,,more kinds of foods ,,,,, but less nutrition
Two incomes ,,,,,but more divorce
Fancier houses ,,,, but broken homes
That’s why I propose , that as of today , you do not keep anything for a special occasion , because every day 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, and 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 .
If you’re too busy to take the time to send this message to someone you love , and you tell yourself you will send it “ one of these days “
You may not be here to send it
“ one of these days “
Believe me
