In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the Lion sleeps tonight, and while he dozes and nods off, he knows that when he wakes up in the morning, he had better run faster than the slowest Gazelle, otherwise he will go hungry.

But oddly enough, tonight, in the same jungle, at the same time, the Gazelle knows, as he is dozing off, that when he wakes up in the morning, he had better run faster than the fastest Lion, otherwise he will become some Lions dinner.

But it doesn't really matter who is going to be faster in the morning.  The one thing that the Lion and the Gazelle are thinking about right now, as they doze off, in the jungle, is that, when they both wake up in the morning, they had both better start RUNNING!

Sorry to hear about your girl friend mate.  I know how you feel, i lost my mother earlier this year to cancer.  Long story, but her passing has lead me to consider WC as a career.

Stan,your post always interest me,you seem like a bloke who has got his  head screwed on.I agree there is lots more to life than money,I worked away until 3 weeks ago,for nearly 10 years,I have a daughter who is 6 and twin boys who are 3,I have missed out on them growing up so far,not been there for birthdays or school plays etc, my marriage ended which had nothing to do with me working away,but i feel it did not help.I believed i was doing it to make a better life for my wife and children,look where that got me,divorced(well nearly),lost everything i had ever owned/worked for,now had to start again from scratch with hand me downs etc.Now i realise just what really is more important,Work all the hours god sends if you like,its your lives,But i for one am going to try and just get by,but be richer than most by spending a lot more quality time with my children and new girlfriend.Also Stan,how old are you,I can't get the image of that scrap man off the telly that you had as your profile pic

Hello Dazmond,

Sorry, to here about your girlfriend, hope she's doing ok.

your not the only one who finds it hard to get motivated with work sometimes.  I believe its more to do with the weather this time of year than anything else.

Just keep on going, thats all you can do.

Wish your girlfriend all the best from me.

Kind Regards.
