[Time-Management] And here's the balance for the year!

 

25th December 2012

Everyone can have a luxury life. It’s a state of mind. It’s not necessarily about having the biggest house. It’s about living life to the fullest.

Paul Miklas

Every day a new gadget is coming making the previous one outdated. The new iPhone 5 is the talk of the town. You may have iPad already. But if you do not have iPad Mini, you feel you are left behind! You are driving your car which is very good. But if your friend is having a new car, you feel as though you have nothing. I visited a friend of mine who constructed a huge house with seven bedrooms, a courtyard, a swimming pool, a roof garden etc. He took nearly five years to complete that house. The whole house is occupied just by him and his wife!

Just think: will these people be happy with what they have at any point of time?

I am not saying that you should not enjoy comforts in life. But you need to know where the comfort ends and luxury begins. A product has a functional value. It also has an emotional and sentimental value like your wedding ring. But when you look at status value, luxury value, society value, popularity value etc, you don’t feel satisfied and contended with whatever you have!

Now stop reading a list three things which you want to buy during the next one week and think if you really want them!
