Lesson81 Stop to Smell the Flowers p.46

In the hustle and bustle of modern-day life, people seldom stop to enjoy the beauty of nature. Ask
yourself how many times you have listened to the birds sing. And when was the last time you looked at the
sparkling stars twinkle in the sky? Time flies and life is short. So don't forget to stop to smell the
flowers.
    In our eagerness to make a living, we often forget about our quality of life. Too often you hear people
say, "I'm too busy," for this or that. What a shame! One day, when they do find time to stop to smell the
flowers, it might be too late.
