Text 6 Have you ever noticed when you go to a buffet restaurant how they give you a bowl the size of a saucer and then say,"Have as much salad as you like but you can only go up once"?Life is like that small salad bowl.Like the hungry people waiting for their main course,we can cram as much into that tiny bowl as we can carry.I love watching people ingeniously stack the cucumber around the side of the bowl-like they're filling a skip -and then cramming it so high that they have to hire a forklift truck to get it back to the table.They're not greedy.They just know that they only have one shot at it.

Life is like that small salad bowl. Like the hungry people waiting for their main course, we can cram as much into that tiny bowl as we can carry.

Text Fill your bowl.We come this way but once so let's make the best of the short stay.Like the once-a-year holiday to Florida or Spain.Fit as much into the short time there as you can.Make sure that you go back home knackered because you got so much done. 8 If you don't want to be a postman then don't be a postman.Give it up and be a painter,a writer,a tobogganist,whatever.Just don't be something that you patently do not want to be.

Text 9 And now is the time,not tomorrow.There is no time like the present.If you can't have what you want this very second the least you can do is start the journey now,this minute,while the inspiration is high.We all have the same amount of minutes,we all get the same 24 hours as Branson and Gates.It's just what we do with our time,how we invest it,that determines where our lives may lead.

Text 10 So what I'm thinking is (and this is not molecular science)if we are dying and our allotted time is finite, why the hell aren't we doing all the things we want to do NOW?What's all this back-burner stuff?And why are we all waiting for the right time when we already know that the right time isn't going to show?The right time is the cheque that's permanently in the post,it never arrives.It's the girl who keeps us standing at the corner of the Co-op looking like a spanner.No amount of clock watching will change the inevitable.She's stood us up.
