The Nine Lives Theory of a Cat

Work as if you only have today,

Live as if you'll live forever.

It is a common belief that cats have nine lives; they seem to survive all accidents, and still they're alive and strong and healthy even without a HOME!

Nature provides cats with great sense of balance, so they can right themselves and land on all fours, a brilliant feat! They might start upside down in a free fall, but they make an incredible adjustment and land gracefully on all fours, with the shock of impact absorbed evenly so no harm is done (Mancuso, 2005).

Oh! I so adore cats. And yes, I am envious with their sense of balance. I wish I had the same power as theirs that when imbalance I can land safe and sound. Cats are mysterious and lovely!

Things I've Learned from Cats:

When there's work to be done, PITCH IN!

Enjoy life's little treasures.

One person's trash is another one's treasure.

If you are lost, remain calm and have faith that you'll be found.

If you cherish challenges and love to face the impossible, put your all into it and you'll come out just fine.

In life's darkest moment, never give up hope.

Love is crucial for survival.

No job is menial or without merit. Enjoy your work and give it your best efforts, every day, all day.

Be your own person.

Determination and perseverance will help you accomplish your goals.

How wonderful it is to feel protected and secure!

Love makes it possible to carry on despite everything.

Life is full surprises, and usually this is reason enough to stay positive during stressful times. Good things are right around the corner!

Taking care of yourself is important at every stage in life.

When I get tired and uninspired, like now :), I just read and reread these lines until my system's up.

Here I go again, lame and unprofessional. :( I hate this person.

Okay then, gotta get my ass movin'! Got loads of papers to be checked. 

Now, I am almost motivated. ALMOST.

Gettin' there!
