Little joys of life

Little joys of life – such as a train journey. I recently went to the capital to visit a friend. It is with a speed train for about 4 hours. I was well prepared, and the computer went with me. It is unbelievable how much can happen in that time. As soon as I started to create something, the Miss siting next to me started to ask me about different things.

So after a while I left my writing and began to engage in the conversation a little more actively, not just short yes and no. We talked about different topics, about the labor market situation, what is more profitable – to be employed and have some certainty or work as a freelancer and think about how to organize it in our working life.

There was also a topic of retirement and security after active working life, the availability of services, facilities for the elderly, and the fact that in the way of life we ​​must be prepare from the early age. We have such a trend that we always compare ourselves with other families, neighbors and even with other states.

It is important to think that if we are looking for better work, better living conditions, a holiday and a new car today, but it does not come out, nothing happens when we are just waiting for a better tomorrow.

The time has changed and when we naively think that we will be taken care of in the future, we are wrong. The number of young people is decreasing from year to year and we get only what we are building now. In some countries, retirement systems are thoughtfully functioning, somewhere they do not know such a form at all. The family and children look after their parents as they took care of them from an early age.

Therefore, you need to think well about how to start, build and plan today. There are ways to make extra work as long as time permits us, or we need to look at something that will do more to meet our expectations and needs much better.

My journey went fast. I didn’t even realize and I was at the finish of my journey. We exchanged contacts for ourselves, wished for a nice day and each went own way. So, in the capital, using public transportation, I got to my friend’s house.

We’ve known each other for 30 years. I always look forward to coming to her. Today she prepared for me a small canapé as an appetizer and prepared a fantastic grilled chicken cutlets while we were talking. I don’t know how she does it, but every time I was there, she always prepares something so simple that I envy her and clean the plate very quickly.

This is also about the life. You have to respect friends and not just when we need something. At work we meet people we know almost nothing about. We work together, we create things and projects but we don’t even know whether your friend has a wife waiting at home or just a dog.

We live so fast that we are unable to visit our parents, siblings, children who are away from home. We go to restaurants for lunch and dinner and sometimes the waiter is the last person we see and wish a good night before our bedtime.

We are professionals, we know the industry and we solve everything very quickly. But let’s think at least once a day why we are here and thank for being and having an opportunity.
