Jackie Chan responded to a journalist's question about whether he is satisfied with his life with these wise words:

"You know, I once heard very wise words:

Your hard work is the dream of every unemployed person;


Your restless child is the dream of everyone without children;

Your small home is the dream of every homeless person;

Your little capital is the dream of every debtor;

Your poor health is the dream of every patient with an incurable disease;

Your peace, your peaceful sleep, your accessible food is the dream of everyone in a country at war.

You must appreciate everything you have. After all, no one knows what tomorrow will bring."

I need more whores, cocaine and whisky .😉

 Yes Maddog, but would that make you happy??

 Pleasure and happiness are close cousins but not very alike at all.

In fact pleasure seekers seem to move ever further away from happiness... I know I've been there.

Where is pleasure to be found and how much does it cost?

 That's actually true. I was watching a podcast a few weeks where someone explained the difference..

Yes, I am, very much so.

As folk here know, I suffered a near fatal illness two and a half years ago and it change how I see things.

Health is the most important thing.

I feel I've been given a second chance and I'm making the most of it.
