Sebastian Faulks Quote

Busy is good, isn't it? Busy means we're hard at it, achieving our ends or goals. Haven't had time to stop, or look around or think. That's considered the sign of a life well lived. Although people complain of it - another year gone, where did that one go? - tacitly, they're proud. Otherwise they wouldn't do it: you put your time where your priority is.
