VI. HAVE A LIFE ... ENJOY YOURSELF

        We only live once. Having fun is different from being happy. I've had my share of fun when I was young. There were a lot of things I did then that I am not very proud of but I guess I did learn something from the experience. Its all in the past now - all I can say is that its okay to lose your way once in a while - just don't make it a habit. Its when you sway a little that life offers some excitement, something to laugh about when you're old and near your exit.

      ENJOY YOURSELF

      You work and work for years and years, you're always on the go
      You never take a minute off, too busy making dough
      Someday you say, you'll have your fun when you're a millionaire
      Imagine all the fun you'll have in your old rocking chair

      Enjoy yourself, its later than you think
      Enjoy yourself, while still in the pink
      The years go by, as quickly as a wink
      Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, its later than you think

      You're gonna take that ocean trip no matter come what may
      You've got your reservations made but you just can't get away
      Next year for sure you'll see the world you'll really get around
      But how far can you travel when you're six feet underground

      Your heart of heart, your dream of dreams, your ravishing brunette
      She's left and she's now become somebody else's pet
      Lay down that gun, don't try my friend to reach the great beyond
      You'll have more fun by reaching for a redhead or a blond


          A real fine song ...circa 50's and Paeng Yabut's favorite. I use to hear that song while I was still a child. Didn't like it much but as I grow older and wiser, I saw what the song really meant. There are a lot of ways we could find happiness and as life slowly slips by, we will regret more not the wrong things we have done but morely the things we wanted to do but never had the guts to try doing.
