(Translated from Chinese Proverbs plus some personal additions – Source unknown)
1. Today, we have bigger houses; but smaller families 2. More conveniences; but less time 3. We have more degrees; but less common sense 4. More knowledge; but less judgment 5. We have more experts, but more problems; more medicine but less wellness 6. We spend too recklessly, laugh too little and drive too fast 7. We get angry too quickly, stay up too late and get up too tired 8. We read too little, watch TV too often; but pray too seldom 9. We have multiplied our worldly possessions; but reduced our values 10. We talk too much, love too little and lie too often 11. We have learned how to make a living; but not a life 12. We have added years to life; but not life to years 13. We have taller buildings; but shorter tempers 14. Wider freeways; but narrow view points 15. We spend more but have less; we buy more but enjoy it less 16. We have been all the way to the moon and back; but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor 17. We have conquered out space; but not inner space 18. We have split the atom; but not our prejudices 19. We write more but learn less; plan more but accomplish less 20. We have learned to rush; but not to wait 21. We have higher incomes; but lower morals 22. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies; but we have less communication 23. We are long on quantity; but far short on quality 24. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, tall men and short characters; steep profits and shallow relationships 25. More leisure and less fun; more kinds of food but less nutrition 26. Two incomes but more divorces; fancier houses but broken homes THIS IS THE PARADOX OF OUR TIMES TODAY 1. So……Let’s not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that we live is a special occasion from The Almighty. 2.Search for knowledge, read more; sit on your front/back porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs 3.Spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods (in moderation) and visit the places you love 4. Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; not only about survival 5. Use your crystal goblets, your valued china; do not save your best perfume and use it every time you want it 6. Remove from your vocabulary phrases like “one of these days” and “someday”; let’s write that letter we thought writing “one of these days” 7. Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them 8. Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to our lives 9. Every day, every hour and every minute is special; so pray to Allaah and ask for forgiveness for yourself and your loved ones.
