It’s a small world after all

By Dean Letfus

SMALL_WORLD

I got talking to a shop keeper yesterday who was asking why I was buying so much “weird” stuff.  When I explained I was speaking at an event in Thailand and needed to have everything with me she commented that she had never been on a plane.  I said she should try it soon and hre response really surprised me.

She said: “Oh no I don’t want to do that. I like New Zealand.  I like to watch stuff on Sky of course. I’ve been everywhere that way now!”

I just couldn’t think of a reply to that.  I was initially thinking about this lady’s mindset that would be satisfied with life lived in 1 suburb.  She was in her 60′s so one can assume her personal development has been “limited”.

But to be fair she thinks she has visited everywhere anyway because Sky has made the world so small.

And I guess by sticking to the flat screen the weather is always great, you get to see the absolute best tourist spots and never have to endure a long flight or an obnoxious guide :-)

So thought for the day…….

Are you actually living your life or do you let the Discovery Channel do that for you?

Thats really sad, someone close to me has been everywhere (on sky tv) and has an opinion on just about all of it but very seldom do they leave the couch thats NOT living, Say Nothing (about everything)

2. Do Nothing

3. Be Nothing

is a waste of life.
