I recently posted a couple of comments on Facebook that surprisingly gathered a lot of likes. Since it was a closed group, I thought I would share them here. The OP was: " Please share a simplicity tip that you wish everyone knew because it has helped you a lot. " Use your gadgets until they spoil or become obsolete.  Eat well with everything in moderation, at the table, and take your time, so you'll know when you are full and should stop eating.  Put in effort to know your loved ones and spend more time with them, especially the older folk, you'll miss them when they're gone.  Read a book, and keep reading it if you like it, otherwise move on; there are too many books to read in one lifetime.  Pray, even if you don't think God's listening or believe in Him. Don't dress to impress others; dress to feel good about yourself as you go about your day, because your smile is always your best accessory.

Some time ago, a FB friend posted this article: Why 'Don't Worry About Money, Just Travel' Is The Worst Advice Of All Time ; to which I added a comment: "I love travelling, but the more I travel, the more I find it a lie. At the end of the day, you go home. You face the same four walls you call home. There's the same job, the same commute, the same friends, the same enemies, the same problems; you're stinking broke and can't wait to travel again. When you do travel, you feed some of your money into that tourism machine. You bought some bangles at a village that might provide a paltry meal for a family. A lot of it is manufactured. You can never help the people you want to, like the road-side stall Aunty selling flowers in New Delhi. No matter how well I take a photo of some scenery, it can never replace the magic of the place when you're there. Looking at the picture again just makes you sad, because you're not there and the people you're with...

Imagine you are going to be stuck in an elevator for the next 120 hours or 5 days. With the exception of friends and family, you can bring in anything you want to do. Anything. However, it has to be something productive. What is your answer? Whatever it is, that would be your career.   This random post is brought to you by this Kula Shaker video :)
