The New Groundhog Day



Just 20 days ago, I reminded readers that we were getting an extra second this year. Today, main-stream-media is reminding the world again.

We really need to make use of the gifts given to us this holiday season - whether they are big or small. Adages of ‘use your time wisely’ mean so much more when you literally have more time. 

Set your goals and lead the way - even if it means taking off in a new direction.

“If you want to know the value of one year, just ask a student who failed a course. 
If you want to know the value of one month, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby. 
If you want to know the value of one hour, ask the lovers waiting to meet. 
If you want to know the value of one minute, ask the person who just missed the bus. 
If you want to know the value of one second, ask the person who just escaped death in a car accident. 
And if you want to know the value of one-hundredth of a second, ask the athlete who won a silver medal in the Olympics.” 

- Marc Levy, Et si c'était vrai..., Vous revoir, édition complète 2 en 1
