Chinese proverb: “Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life lies in eliminating the nonessentials”

Earl Nightingale: “Habits are the key to success. Successful people form the habit of doing the things that other people don’t like to do.”

Unknown: “It is not enough to know or understand; you must also act. Knowledge without action is powerless.”

Unknown: “Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistance.”

Henry Ford: “Whether you think you can, or whether you think you can’t, you’re right.”

I am going to form a few habits and stick with them and not give them up because I know they will only make me better.

Every morning for this dame,

it’s all the same.

the buzzer goes off at seven,

pulling her out of her sleepy heaven.

There’s rain and wind and sun,

For her it’s a usual day either or none.

Humming a tune to go with a silly jig,

with extravagant hopes of flying away on a Mig

Untamed dreams and melodies in every thought,

Living a practical life with cereals to be bought!

Tiny horizons that walk through museums and parks

And reach the Amazon and Africa in her mind’s larks

Her life is here and today,

A little pool of happiness and petty dismay

It’s amazing how untouched it feels,

In spite of the way this recession like a movie reels.

In books with a musty smell and yellowy pages,

Had she read romantic tales of the 1930′s rages.

Standing amidst rising prices and friends on the bench,

Nothing changes unless it’s your own thirst to quench.

‘Compassion in the jungle…compassion in your heart’

That’s where it stays in spite of a little difference you might impart.

Life goes on…

And until it’s an experience you stumble upon…

It’ll always be your personal song.

It’s amazing how you can live like a horse with bilnders on sometimes! Just yesterday I bragged to my friend about knowing London so well…’I haven’t known any city as well as this one!’

Scene 1:

T: ‘Really? That’s cool ya! Not many people know much about the place they live in’

P: ‘I guess when you start living alone you figure these things out!’

Sometime later,

T: ‘lets go get some drinks!’

P: ‘ok cool. Wear your layers coz its gonna take at least 10 minutes to get to tesco and it’s very cold’

T: ‘Tesco? Why Tesco?’ There’s a wine shop right next to your house! Haven’t you seen it?’

P: ‘errr…ermm…oh okay!’

Scene 2

P: ‘hey lets hurry up…we’re really late and we’ll only get about a couple of hours at the mall.’

T: ‘I need to top up my osyter card…no balance’

P: ‘Oh shit! Then toh hurry up even more coz we’ll take 10 m ins to walk to the station to do it!’

T: ‘Are you mad? You can get it topped up at these corner shops’

P: ‘No way!’ (with complete confidence) ‘For oyster top-ups you need a machine!’

T: ‘P you are such an idiot naa…these corner shops have machines that you can top up at’

P: ‘Shit! And I’ve been walking all the way to the tube station if I didn’t have balance. Anyway at least I’ve lost weight…’ (so lame!)

Scene 3

P: ‘It’s your lucky day! You love shopping naa…am gonna take you to that new mall thats opened up’

T: ‘The biggest in the UK?’

P: ‘Yeah…it’s in the west of London…forgot what it’s called’

T: ‘Oh yeah…it’s at Whi..’

P: ‘You just go get ready ya…I’m the Londoner will figure out what its called’

Sometime later,

P: ‘T…ur gonna kill me but the net is down and I can’t find out where it is! And the west of London is a vast area’

T: ‘The mall is called Westfield you gugu and is in White City!’

P: You knew??!! ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’

T: ‘You’re the Londoner naa!’

I hate it when my friends do that! :-/

when you think you’re right, you are wrong. At other times you just seem wrong.

Mostly, you can’t tell right from wrong.
