Childrens Corner

Even today, even when I am relaxing, I never stop thinking. y brain is working all the time when I am awake, churning out ideas. ecause irgin is a worldwide company, I find I need to be awake uch f the time. One of the things I am very good at is catnapping, atching an hour or two of sleep at a time. Of all the skills I have earned, that one is vital for me. On a bus between Hong Kong and hina, for example, when nothing much is going on, I will sleep. I wake efreshed and ready to go for long hours. It’s also a very good ay of switching off. Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher were asters of the catnap and I use their example in my own life.

The panish painter, Salvador Dali, had a unique way to savour the moment. When he was bored with life, he would walk in his cliff-top garden. He would pick a perfect peach, warm from the sun, and hold it in his hand to admire its golden skin. He would sniff it. The warm erfume would fill his senses. Then he would take a single bite. His outh would fill with luscious juice. He would savour it slowly. Then he ould spit out the mouthful and throw the peach into the sea elow. He said it was a perfect moment and he gained more from that han from eating a basket of peaches.

In a way, regrets are like anting the peach you have thrown away. It’s gone, but you are illed with remorse. You wish you hadn’t thrown it away. You want it ack. I believe the one thing that helps is to have no regrets. Regrets eigh you down. They hold you back in the past when you should move on.
