I heard this morning that Tim Ferriss aka author of my favorite book of all time

“The Four Hour Work Week” is in Columbus this weekend for the Arnold Sports

Classic.

I wanted to give a little tribute to my favorite book/author since he is visiting

my city this weekend to share a poem from that book that I find truly great

to read any time I have a chance to.

It is hanging on my desk at work…great stuff…HAPPY FRIDAY!!

That is all…

SLOW DANCE

HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED KIDS

ON A MERRY-GO-ROUND?

OR LISTENED TO THE RAIN

SLAPPING ON THE GROUND?

EVER FOLLOWED A BUTTERFLY’S ERRATIC FLIGHT?

OR GAZED AT THE SUN INTO THE FADING NIGHT?

YOU BETTER SLOW DOWN.

DON’T DANCE SO FAST.

TIME SHORT.

THE MUSIC WON’T LAST.

DO YOU RUN THROUGH EACH DAY

ON THE FLY?

WHEN YOU ASK: HOW ARE YOU?

DO YOU HEAR THE REPLY?

WHEN THE DAY IS DONE,

DO YOU LIE IN YOUR BED

WITH THE NEXT HUNDRED CHORES

RUNNING THROUGH YOUR HEAD?

YOU’D BETTER SLOW DOWN.

DON’T DANCE SO FAST.

TIME IS SHORT.

THE MUSIC WON’T LAST.

EVER TOLD YOUR CHILD,

WE’LL DO IT TOMORROW?

AND IN YOUR HASTE,

NOT SEE HIS SORROW?

EVER LOST TOUCH,

LET A GOOD FRIENDSHIP DIE

CAUSE YOU NEVER HAD TIME

TO CALL AND SAY, “HI”?

YOU’D BETTER SLOW DOWN.

DON’T DANCE SO FAST.

TIME IS SHORT.

THE MUSIC WON’T LAST.

WHEN YOU RUN SO FAST TO GET SOMEWHERE

YOU MISS HALF THE FUN OF GETTING THERE.

WHEN YOU WORRY AND HURRY THROUGH YOUR DAY,

IT IS LIKE AN UNOPENED GIFT THROWN AWAY.

LIFE IS NOT A RACE.

DO TAKE IT SLOWER.

HEAR THE MUSIC.

BEFORE THE SONG IS OVER.
