OUTBACK WISDOM Remember, whatever you do to people, the air, animals, trees and the earth, will in turn be done to you. If it is done in the name of money, just remember, all the millions in the world cannot buy happiness, friends, love, family or one breath of fresh air. A Friend (We all need a friend) How do you know a friend, pop? The young boy asked his dad. The old chap's big eyes moistened And his tan face looked quite sad A friend is like a gem son. The real ones are rare You will know it when you find one, Cos they always will be there. At times when life has turned you down And you fail to understand, Your friend will be there with you To take you by the hand. Famous Sayings Keep your eyes peeled Were you born in a tent? You could have cut the air with a knife Cost you an arm and a leg Throw in the towel Come in, spinner Between you and me and the gate post Don't beat around the bush All hands on deck Easy as pie Slow Down Therapy Remember a happy, peaceful time in your past .Rest there. Each moment has a richness that takes a lifetime to savour.
THINKING BACK You will find that when you look back on life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others. The purpose of life is not to be happy but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived.
