Es irónico lo fácil que es dar por sentado lo que es lo más valioso: nuestra salud y seres queridos. enter image description here It's ironic how easy it is to take for granted what's most valuable: our health and loved ones.

No hay mucho probidad en el mercado de valores, hoy en día.

Y no una buena relación calidad tampoco.

Not much probity in the market today.

And no value either.

An antiques value depends on age, scarcity, demand and the probity of the dealer.

El valor de una antigüedad depende de su edad, escasez, demanda y probidad de comerciante.

A veces me pregunto cuál sería el valor de un diamante si nadie los quisiera no más- normalmente pienso en esto cuando estoy pagando un precio ridículo por un regalo para mi esposa.

Sometimes I wound wonder what the value of a diamond would be if no one were to want them anymore- normally I think about this when I am paying a ridiculous price for a gift for my wife.

Very true, Jubilado. Often people don't really value what they have until they have lost it or risk losing something! :) - FELIZ77, Jan 1, 2016

¡A menudo la gente no vale (o personas no valen) las cosas más importantes en la vida hasta a que ya los han perdido o corren el riesgo de perderlos! ¡Es una verdedera lástima! íTodos nosotros deberíamos valen mucho a nuestras familias y amigos mientras siguen vivir (o siguen ser vivo) porque ninguno de nosotros sabemos la duración de nuestra vida en este planeta! wink

Often people don't value the most important things in life until they have already lost them or risk (run the risk of...) losing them! It is really such shame! We should all greatly value our family and friends while we still have them (while they still live) because none of us know how much longer we have on this planet! wink

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor smile
