What to do?

Sit on the window cill and soak up some rays..? Close my eyes and think of tuna? Wait for a hand to come along and give me a stroke... all of these are possibilities, ..knowing what I really want & enjoy - placing myself mentally in the position of having whatever that is now and sticking with it, the world delivers up what I am asking for .. It won't necessarily happen overnight; it will happen - painting your picture of the future is the first step.

The value of time

This is a quote by Thomas Oxley in November 1830, from a book on Planispheres and astronomy. Oxley was a reknowned pioneer and spent a lifetime writing his book. Humanity's passion for saving time dates back centuries.. more recently, in the 1970's the internet and PCs were heralded as a means of saving us time and allowing us all to work less and accomplish more - has new technology lived up to this expectation? We certainly accomplish a lot more, although do we work less? If not, is it because in reality we all live to work?
