The new year brings with it enough articles & blog posts on the topic. One article, One more chance – Mahesh Dattani – The Week caught my fancy.

Some anecdotes from this article –

• The human species could be extinct one day and the universe will not even tremble! And we think we really matter.
• It’s a new year! One more chance to get it right! – Oprah Winfrey
• How we spend our days, is of course, how we spend our lives.
• Future comes to us at a speed of sixty minutes an hour. But what about the past? Does it really leave us at the same speed with which the future came?
• Time is relative. We may have the same amount of time as did yesterday, but the more we let go (of yesterday) the more we can cherish what we truly have (today).
• To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else. – Emily Dickenson
