Visszanyal A Fagyi [The Ice Cream Licks Back]

 

I am neither a linguist nor an ardent student of languages but skimming through today's news wires, allow me to borrow this Hungarian quote:  VISSZANYAL A FAGI [THE ICE CREAM LICKS BACK].  You can buy Cellato, the most expensive ice cream OR even midstream Haagen-Dazs BUT it all boils down to the same Hungarian quote, THE ICE CREAM LICKS BACK💚💛💜

Hungarian this may be, BUT this quote runs deep across our life.  Let's start with FINANCIALS.  If you are now awash with $$$$$$$ and you're spending like there's NO tomorrow, would you expect your tomorrow to be the same as today?  Absolutely you're totally wrong if that's your train of thought because to spend frivolously can only go so far before it breaches that threshold, that POINT of NO RETURN.  We've heard a global sportsman successful in his sports WHOSE total earnings of US$ 750 Million ranks him as the 22nd all-time when ranked with all global sportsmen.  YET, just last month, he came out of retirement and is now in the midst of wrapping up his training for his return championship bout on July 20th.  If you hear his spiel, he came back from retirement 'FOR THE LOVE OF THE SPORTS'.  That's hogwash, baloney rubbish💧💧💧

That brings us back to the weight carried by the Hungarian quote VISSZANYAL A FAGI [THE ICE CREAM LICKS BACK].  Let's move our samplings from financials to relationships.  If someone is guilty [enough] of disrespect and hurtfulness in a relationship, surely that will NOT just cause a dent in a relationship.  Sooner if NOT later, a breakup is NOT far fetched to happen.  I've witnessed first hand WHERE the other spouse/partner simply walked away, catching his 'abandoned' ex-spouse/partner 'high and dry'.  Surely you have heard OR witnessed those narratives.  Throw away the feelings of regret OR guilt.  Let's just go back to the Hungarian quote VISSZANYAL A FAGI [THE ICE CREAM LICKS BACK].  From relationships, let's go back to health.  HOW many of us [OR at least people WHOM you know] WHO are wantonly abusing their health these days, with excessive eating, with heavy alcohol, and even chain-smoking.  We are NO experts BUT would you agree that the Hungarian quote resonates again in those circumstances???

From financials to relationships to health, let's move over to career.  HOW many narratives have we heard WHERE a person realized he is in the wrong calling, vocation or career?  BUT you might ask, WHAT could have caused them to be off-track?  Probably, during the job hunting days, they signed job offers on the dotted line for jobs WHICH was NOT WHAT they really wanted BUT simply signing off for $$$$$$ considerations.  UNTIL, before you know it, he was in that job for years and years, only realizing of late that he ended up spending years in a job that was farthest from his interest.  The worst part in that narrative is that he realized he was [and still IS] off-track too late for him to change course at that point in time.  We can rattle off on and on numerous phases in our life WHERE much as we like and enjoy 'ICE CREAMS', later if NOT sooner those times WHEN we did 'swoon over heels' with the ICE CREAMS, eventually that ICE CREAM LICK BACK [and by then, it may be too little OR too late for us to make a move, to change courses or at least to pivot💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  In the shortest words, we should be reminded that in life, we need to be extra and consciously mindful of the potential consequences of each of our actions and WHERE there is a need to do some 'balancing act', we need to endeavor in striking that balance between PRESENT enjoyment versus our FUTURE well-being as this should be our thoughtful approach to decision-making [rather than take that 'impulsive' way for the sake of immediate gratification.  Apologies for being blunt here but I'll still hang on to the Hungarian quote VISSZANYAL A FAGI [THE ICE CREAM LICKS BACK]😡😡😡
