Doctors
advise yoga but are they gonna look after my kids when I finish my 15 hour working day? Friends recommend a massage, but until my bank account fills up as quickly as my laundry basket, spending more than 70 bucks for
an hour is not an option for me. Taking a bath was a cheap and good option,
maybe as long as I was not considered an abuser of the environment, and definitely
before my bath was invaded by a non-skid mat, baby seat and plastic ducks..
No truly, I
think we would all agree that having a glass of wine is the cheapest,
quickest and easiest way to find relaxation at the end of the day. Wine also
gives us a priceless outcome: it is adjusted to our own desire. When we buy
wine, we choose our own flavour - Red, White, Rose, cold or warm, sweet or dry,
sparkly or flat, delicate or spicy. And wine, just like us, also has a long history:
the uniqueness of every bottle will depend on what happens to the grapes and
their juices from the vine to the glass. At the end of the day, walking into a
wine shop is like walking into a company office - at first glance every bottle
looks the same. Companies are prepared to bet on our reputation as
much as we are keen to spend huge amounts of money on a prestigious wine. They
will squeeze us every day as much as we are still enjoying that very last
drop of a great wine. In other words, as we all expect the best from our wine
discovery of the day, we should naturally understand that challenge and
pressure only exist when there is a talent to explore. Some people might think
then..and if I fail does that mean that I should rethink my skills? If tomorrow someone
brings me a glass of Petrus, I would, without any doubt, hate it. Does
that mean that it’s not an amazing wine?
Are you looking
for new opportunities, a promotion, an upgrade in your salary? The
only advice I can give you is to strive only for the best because mediocrity
doesn’t have the potential to build on itself.
