I’m not certain what the secret to life is, but I think it has something to do with timing. Miss a beat, and a joke is ruined. Miss a bus, and you might never meet the love of your life. Ok, I don’t really believe that. But, I do dream of solving the time puzzle. Just think how much closer I would be to checking off professional photographer, famous comedian, and successful investor from my to-do list.
Up until this point, I attribute most of the good timing in my life to serendipity. I decided recently, however, that I should focus more of my energy on cracking the time code. Be a better time manager, more efficient, organized. When O Magazine landed on my desk this morning, I noticed the leading headline, “Too busy to live?” I thought, perhaps, this would be a good place to start.
BTW, Oprah -- What is being "too busy to live" supposed to mean?
(If you're wondering -- no, I don’t typically read O Magazine. It’s a perk of the job. Comp’ed magazine subscriptions. It’s one way they get away with working us like crazy and paying us dirt.)
For all O Magazine subscribers, I don't mean to spoil the article for you. But, in the end, Oprah's suggestions turned out to be some Zen Buddhist mumbo-jumbo. I guess I'll have to spend more time searching.
(Just kidding about Buddhism being mumbo-jumbo. I indeed hold the ancient religion in very high regard. I was trying to be clever, but combined with comments about China in the previous post it may suggest otherwise. Clearly, poor timing.)

One of the secrets of life is...
When preparation and good timing come together. Some people call this luck. Dad
Oh wise one, I thought the saying was about preparation and opportunity meeting. :)
I thought it was when good timing and fortunate scheduling rendezvous.
