So I've just started reading Mitch Albom's "The Time Keeper", actually I started on it in Japan but didn't touch it until now.
You know that feeling you get when you read the first 25 pages of a book and you just know it's gonna be a beauty? I felt that.
Every single one of us can relate to it, it has so much wisdom.
“Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.” ― Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper
Time, that's our weakness. I have to stop wasting it.
“We all yearn for what we have lost. But sometimes, we forget what we have.” ― Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper
If it's possible to quote the entire book, I would.
I have to stop going down this path man, this path towards failure and the 99% possibility of being retained.
My blog titles will never make sense because they are lyrics to songs.
