Whenever 24 hours seem too unfair a deal, when life has so much to offer, and so much calls for attention and action, this is the poem that comes calling back.....
Leisure
What is life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
William Henry Davies
I have only 24 hours, too few to live....too much to lose!!!

Yeah yeah... you have 24 hours a day, out of which you spend around 10 hours sleeping, 3 hours traveling, 3 hours eating and rest chatting with some useless folks. There is a good reason to pray for your employer. :D (yep yep.. your employer, who also happenes to be my beshhht phriend :p)
Vaise not a bad thought considering that you are a brainless soul. :D
