Wise Words of Wisdom

The very famous Swedish singer Lill-Babs, sort of the equivalence to Cilla Black here in the UK, made a very good statement once. “Life never turns out the way you think, but it does turn out in some way” (free translation from “Livet blir aldrig som man tankt sig, men det blir alltid nat!”). I have this at home at a kitchen magnet, to never forget these heavy words of wisdom.


And she should know the little Babsan. She has had at least 10 husbands and twice as many serious boyfriends in her now 65 years of life. And she seems even happier than anyone else. Mathematically she can hardly have had four years of confusion and grief in between every relationship. Probably she is the kind of brave person who just “spits in her palms” and gets on with her life, UPWARDS ONWARDS!

So in the Babsan spirit young friends: Lean back and just go with the destiny. You may end up in the last place you would ever consider on earth, that you didn’t even consider.. like…like… GABON!
