Quote

A keen young philosopher once noted,

“Life moves pretty fast.
If you don’t stop and look
around once in a while,
you could miss it.”

Who was the insightful person, Plato, Aristotle, Kant?

No, it was Ferris Bueller. It was his closing line in the hit 1980’s movie, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

In this busy life of ours, we need to stop and smell the roses sometime, or life will pass us by.

Our culture moves at a breakneck pace and we value speed and multitasking. We have instant coffee, fast food and we “shop ‘till we drop.” Even on the Internet the idea of “dial-up” is archaic and we view “high-speed” internet as a right.

But the reminder from Ferris Bueller should not be lost. Life is short and if we are not careful we can become so busy that we never stop to take the time and enjoy it. Somehow, someway I’ve got to figure out a way to slow life down. If I could figure this out and then bottle it, I could make millions.

I use it as much as possible, to remind others, and myself to take life rustig!

Have a nICE day!©
