Time

Imagine you are a fifty year old man, or woman, and you go to the doctor to be told that you have at best fifteen thousand days to live but that you could die anytime before then. Don't imagine it because this is in fact reality. Of course, you might get lucky and live a couple of thousand days longer but fifteen thousand days is probably stretching it a bit if you are a fifty year old woman and if you are a fifty year old man, it is most definitely stretching it. Now, while we cannot actually waste time this thought might be a call to try to utilise it a bit better. So, is there that book still waiting to get out? Or is it time to sacrifice yourself for a noble cause? Perhaps, you should just be paying attention to things that you have neglected.

Dear James, 15,000 days - could that be equated into 15,000 beers. The days do tick by. Lets try and achieve something every day bcause one thing is certain we are not here to practice
