Guidelines to the Journey of Life
Guidelines to the Journey of Life A Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)
"Imagine lifeas a game in which you are juggling some fiveballs in theair.You name them - Work,Family, Health, Friends &Spirit andyou're keepingall of these in the air.You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends and spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these;they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for Balance in your life." How?
* Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are differentthat each of us is special.
* Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best foryou.
* Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life,for without them, life is meaningless.
*Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By livingyour life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
* Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the momentyou stop trying.
* Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us toeach together.
* Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
* Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find time.
* The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
* Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where youare going.
* Don't forget,a person's greatest emotional need is to feelappreciated.
* Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
* Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journeyto be savoured each step of the way.
