Time Is Never An Enemy!
You go back home after a hard day at work to be with your family. But your time and priority are reserved for the sofa. Time is always racmg against your real priorities.
I was listening to my five-year-old daughter talking to another five-year-old. They were both not aware of me standing close by. My daughter was brag¬ging, and it was about me. She was telling her friend that her father was the nicest dad in the world. I read her bed¬time stories, played with her and bought her the nicest toys.
The problem was, as I lis¬tened to her, I could not remember when was the last time I had bought her a toy or read her a bedtime story. I might have done it months ago, and the frequencies between each action were far apart. But I was her father, and whether 1 was perform¬ing my role well or not, I was worth the brag.
When my daughter paused for a breather, she turned and saw me. She squealed and ran to me. She gave me a hug and I turned a shade of red with guilt.

MONEY - How Important Is It For You?
For money you can have everything it is said. No, that is not true. You can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; soft beds, but not sleep; knowledge but not intelligence; glitter, but not comfort; fun, but not pleasure; acquaintances, but not friendship; servants, but not faithfulness; grey hair, but not honor; quiet days, but not peace. The shell of all things you can get for money. But not the kernel. That cannot be had for money. -Arne Garborg, writer (1851-1924)
In 21st century everything seems to be connected with money. They say that money moves the world.
Some years ago I traveled abroad hoping that I will make more money that way and experience happiness. But then I realized that I was so emotionally connected to my family; to my Tashkent with its endless bumpy roads and so on.
I realized that there are a lot of other more precious things in life ( I will tell you more about them in my comments). So to what extend is money important to you these days?
Turning A Blind Eye To Poverty
Much of the publicity on poverty is focused on far away Africa, but nobody takes the time to take a closer look a few yards away from their own doorstep.
INSTEAD of walking to my office as usual, I thought I would walk a few paces down the road to help me unwind. Cars were swishing past me, some at a breakneck speed. I walked past a posh villa, past a glimmering Mercedes and past an old rubbish bin — all just less than 200 meters apart.

Do Our Dreams Mean Anything?
A year ago I saw a dream in which I was swimming in the wide, blue and warm ocean. He, he, he!!!! When I woke up in the morning, I told my Mom about my dream and she said that my year would be easy and that I would not have a lot of problems and obstacles ahead. Well to be honest, life has never been easy for me since I was a child. However, I am achieving my goals and realizing my dreams slowly but surely. But I still don't know whether we should believe in our night-time dreams or NOT. Do you believe that our dreams mean something? Please share with us your examples from you own life to make it more interesting and controversial!!!!!
