Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask “How are you?”
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You’d better slow down
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.

Ever told your child,
We’ll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say “Hi”?
You’d better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere,
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift….
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

We all have a dream and vision. We all have challenges ahead too. We dream of universe with peace, love and prosperity prevailing upon, welfare of all in our minds and vision of universal brotherhood. We wish to make our surroundings better place to live in, free from physical diseases as well as diseases of our thoughts like anger, hatred and selfishness. These ideas and wishes have short self-life that is why we must act before the expiry date. The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. We cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are. The difference between ordinary and extra ordinary is the little extra. Remember that if you are on the right track, you will be run over if you just sit there. You just need to get up and get going. George Bernard Shaw has said that when I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failure, so I did ten times more work. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing and funny thing about life is that if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. Sitting still and wishing makes no person great. Many people avoid discovering the secret of success because deep down they suspect the secret may be hard work. The road to success runs uphill and there is no short cut to success. So, never ever loose even one hour in a day and work for the upliftment of oneself, society and universe as a whole.
