“Don't waste your time, do something worthwhile with it." But what can that mean: worthwhile? Finally to start realizing long-cherished wishes. To attack the error that there will always be time for it later....Take the long-dreamed-of trip, learn this language, read those books, buy yourself this jewelry, spend a night in that famous hotel. Don't miss out on yourself. Bigger things are also part of that: to give up the loathed profession, break out of a hated milieu. Do what contributes to making you more genuine, moves you closer to yourself.” GivingMeanLongBookMovingNightLanguageWishRealizingBreakMissingGiving UpWasteBiggerErrorsProfessionGenuineHatedHotelWorthwhileJewelryBreak OutDon't Waste Your TimeMilieu Author:Pascal Mercier
