Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun,
but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over,
thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

I think you where sitting too close to the webcamera. Your nose, your mouth and the front of your face have come to be enlarged and distorted. Is it possible for you to zoom the camera and "zoom" the sound? Actually, I think that just to backing off from the webcamera like 0.3...0.5 meters would make a big difference.

The sound is good.

[MakeoverSessions]

You're probably right, this was one of my first videos!

[MauriceFlower]

I like that simile between money and time. (Is that correct English?) And I like that metalic sound just in the beginning. Is that from a clock that just had chimed? And I also like the setting with the clocks in the background and your blouse with minute hand / second hand inspired patterns. Perfect!

[MakeoverSessions]

Thanks for noticing--I had fun with this one!

[MauriceFlower]

I'm messing around faaar too much in quadrant 3 and quadrant 4. Oh, no!...

[MakeoverSessions]

It's NEVER too late to improve.

[MauriceFlower]

We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence, therefore,

is not an act, but a habit.

~ Aristotle

[MauriceFlower]

I very much like this quote attributed to him:

The deepest hunger of human heart is to be understood. ~ Steven R. Covey

To me that simple quote say so much of human kind and how you shall treat others. AND for me it also speaks the importence of "being heard" as a baby, child and youngster; when growing up. AND this can work wonders also on adults, AND on people who are just about to die...

[MauriceFlower]

I have read his book **7 Habits Of Highly Effective People** like ten years ago. A very good. I would call it a classic. But sadly enough...I haven't practiced very little of the wisdom of it.

[TooFreakingRelaxed]

I wanted to add one of my favorite poems to this subject that is by Khayyam. Fitzgerald also has a translation/interpretation as well. Literal: O friend, for the morrow let us not worry This moment we have now, let us not hurry When our time comes, we shall not tarry With seven thousand-year-olds, our burden carry. Meaning: O hark, let us not think of the morrow Cherish this moment, far from sorrow Life is a temporal gift that we borrow Whether dead for ages, or leave tomorrow.
