Life's a Beach Quotes

“Rather than reaching July 1st and thinking ‘where has the first half of the year gone?’ why not turn it around, and remind yourself that you still have half of the year - that's ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FOUR DAYS - remaining. And it's all irrelevant anyway, because as one year ends, a new one begins, and the whole thing continues as before.”

“As you grow older, there is a definite feeling that time speeds up. This is because the markers by which we measure our time become further apart. When we are children, every second of every minute counts; we want to fill our every waking moment with some form of excitement or activity. As we grow up and become teenagers, we begin making our own plans - scheduling activities on a day-to-day basis - so our concept of time is altered. We then reach adulthood and our working life begins. The majority of our time is spent working - often in a job we don't enjoy - and time becomes measured by the distance between the things we enjoy, such as the weekends. A year is no longer 365 days; it is just 52 weekends. Weekends then start to fly by, and then months, and before you know it is July 1st, and hasn't the year just flown by?”
