Earn the pleasure
+++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good times do not last. And that’s precisely why they are so good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pleasure has no meaning if it’s the only thing you know. Those times in between the good times are what make the good times enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the party is over, go to bed. When the vacation comes to an end, unpack, do the wash, go back to the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good times will come again, soon enough. In the meantime, live your life, do your work, earn the pleasure that is to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the most enjoyable experience you could imagine would become drudgery if it never ended. Keep life enjoyable by allowing the joys time to renew and refresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good times end, yet more will come. Bide your time, earn the pleasure, and make the enjoyment even better next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
