Aged to Perfection – Fisher Space Pen

In a world where we consume and replace items at an alarming rate, and where there is a multi-billion dollar industry in protective cases for our devices it feels as if almost everything we carry is new and blemish free.

Which is why I love items such as the iPhone in my original Aged to Perfection, and now this wonderfully worn Fisher Space Pen I came across in a review over at The Pen Addict.

“I usually carry this pen as a tool instead of a writing instrument that I enjoy using.”

I love the story that accompanies the review, and that even though there are pens that may write better the author still carries it every day because, as he says, it is a tool.

Work, Life and Coca Cola

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls – Family, Health, Friends and Spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.

Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family, friends and have proper rest.

Value has a value only if its value is valued.
