Inspiring speech by the CEO of COCA COLA:
"Imagine Life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the
air".
You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're
keeping all
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 different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know
what is
best for you.
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 living your 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 moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this
fragile
thread that binds us 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 you are going. Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional
need is
to feel appreciated.
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 journey to be savoured each step of the way.
You only get one go at life, it is not a rehearsal.
