Work - work is needed-but don’t let work become your only life. Play should remain your life, your center of life. Work should just be a means toward play. Work in the office and work in the factory and work in the shop, but just to have time, opportunity, to play. Don’t let your life be reduced into just a working routine - because the goal of life is play!
Play means doing something for its own sake. If you enjoy many more things for their own sake, you will be more alive.

8 Gifts You Can Afford
THE GIFT OF LISTENING: But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening.
THE GIFT OF AFFECTION: Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.
THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER: Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, “I love to laugh with you.”
THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE: It can be a simple “Thanks for the help” note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life.
THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT: A simple and sincere, “You look great in red,” “You did a super job” or “That was a wonderful meal” can make someone’s day.
THE GIFT OF A FAVOR: Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.
THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE: There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.
THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION: The easiest way to feel good is to make other feel good.

- You a dreamer?’
- ‘Yeah.’
- ‘I haven’t seen too many of you around lately. Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming is dead, that no one does it anymore.
- It’s not dead. It’s just that it’s been forgotten. Removed from our language. Nobody teaches it, so no one knows it exists. The dreamer is banished to obscurity. I’m trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. Our planet is facing the greatest problems it’s ever faced. Ever. So whatever you do, don’t be bored. This is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting.’

It’s not hard to decide what you want your life to be about. What’s hard, she said, is figuring out what you’re willing to give up in order to do the things you really care about.
If you keep your heart open, keep trying, keep listening, cry when you need to and laugh even when perhaps you shouldn’t, eventually the shapes on the horizon become clearer.
Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverance.
