“There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.”
~Bertrand Russell
At his website www.1000awesomethings.com Neil Paschrica catalogues the really little pleasures. He has collected 200 of them in ‘The Book of Awesome’, which also happens to be a international bestseller for 65 weeks.
1) Wearing underwear just out of the dryer
2) When cashiers open up new checkouts at the grocery store
3) Intergenerational dancing
4) Paying with exact change
5) Fixing electronics by smacking them
6) High-fiving babies
7) The other side of pillow
Just wanted to add some of the other real pleasures, which are in my list.
1) Small change in your old jeans pocket when you are in need of money
2) Waking up to find that today is a Sunday
3) Turning up late to work only to find out your boss too turned up late
4) Cool water after a perfect workout
5) A gorgeous lady sitting next to you in a bus, on an otherwise uneventful day
6) Fixing a car for someone in the middle of a highway
7) Holding the hand of your loved one in a beach
8) Hearing the Right Song at the Right Moment
9) People Watching
10) A Familiar Smell
So, what the heck you still looking at?? Find a pleasure and live your life.
