Life Is Too Short To Drink Cheap Wine

I learn to precious the little seconds that tickle pass by time, I learn to treat myself well, just like a service you would get in a luxurious hotel. I also learn to steal time from all due business of the day just to breath the breathe of relaxation. Nay, I learn to cheer myself up in the hardest hour in time, I learn to enjoy my own company when I'm alone,wherelse while in the midst of people, I enjoy theirs'. I learn to make myself smile through the laughs I deliver to others, I learn to give myself the best while others just the same. I learn to enjoy life, because I know, that life is too short to drink cheap wine...

I learn to write what I have in heart, lest I soon forget them and let those precious words lost themselves in time, just like a song in the night. I learn to love others as much as I do to myself, because it makes me happy, when you are happy. And I don't really do it for you, I do it for who I am. I learn to pull a smile on my face with four fingers from both hands when I fail. Even if it happen to be really bad, even if both those that care for me and those who doesn't thinks that I am really going down the drain, I will learn to sing the song that the old singer sometime ago used to sing- I'm singing in the rain. I do all these because I realise, that life is too short to drink cheap wine...

I learn to watch the tenses when I write, not to put what is in the present in the past and not to put what is past present. And never put the far away future too present, I learn to live today as today, tomorrow as tommorrow and the day after tommorow as that day. I learn not to dwell in a pity party, like a saddy feris wheel that turns around thus meets no end. I learn to twist my way out of the crooked path of lies which blured my vision as a man and lead me to trespasses. I don't do things not because I don't like them, I don't do things because they are wrong. I learn all these because I know, that life is too short to drink cheap wine...

I learn never to look down on myself, even when I know I am not as pretty I will tell myself I am. I will hold up the little integrity that I have and spare unnecessary principals for the greater good. I don't do it to earn a little name, a little fame or a little praise from those who see my deeds. I do it because it is the right thing. And it makes me happy to do so. I learn to say no just as much as I learn to accept. I learn that life will not be forever, so I learn to spend all time that I have and make use of it to gain the very most out of life itself. For I understand, that life is too short to drink cheap wine...

    ur article really sounded like kipling's way of writing.U're easy and confident to express yourself like very few people do.Never too stingy to reveal your character and let others judge for themselves. Good article. Although I think it's a little deep for those that doesn't like literature to understand.
