       On Prizing Every Moment

A bit of advice ...

I would like you see life as I do - as a series of moments. When you live life fully, you're in the business of creating moments. When I look back on my life, I remember it as a series of moments. Therefore, I don't avoid the sad ones or move too quickly through the thrilling ones. As they say in the theatre, no one remembers the whole show - they recall the 6 or 7 great moments. So, prize each and every moment ; they add up to becoming your life.

Having a communications meeting or writing a speech?
