Today YoneT suggested I watch a TED talk that she usually shows her students. After i watched it I was moved by the message of the speaker. His main message was not to take the little things in life for granted. For example, many people yearn for acceptance, money, fame, etc. but when do you think the last time they took a look up at the sky, took a deep breath and looked at the passing clouds? My guess, not for a long time. When was the last time you looked up at the clouds and just appreciated being in the moment? The little things in life are the ones we take for granted. Here is his TED talk along with his blog. It will shed a new light on the way you perceive things I think. It did for me at least.
