    When I was in 7th grade my science teacher told me "if you eat the cake now, you will suffer later in life" it basically means that if you screw around and have fun in your young years, you have a very hard time playing catch up when you are older. I unfortunately took that advice way to extreme, I basically didn't eat any cake at all all the way up until the age of now 30. To the point where I really don't even know how to enjoy life or have fun. So it is no surprise that there are some people who really do have to search for things like this online.

      Have you ever seen the face of people in hunter gather tribes eat Western candies. It's almost repulsively sweet to them. Never eating "cake" can be too sweet later in life. Stop TRYING to eat the cake. Instead of you trying to be happy and have fun, be the baker, or cake maker in this metaphor. You might be the type of person that finds fun and joy by simply providing it for others. That may be the most you can get, but it can be enough. Also make sure you're not trying to emulate a synthetic version of fun that is created through marketing and media--you've seen the commercials and ads. That's a trap that most people fall for.

    The title is such that every one wants to know more and more about this simple but very different and difficult aspect of each one of ours lives called fun. Further no text formula motivating is not generally there but some simple examples and INSPIRATIONS in place of instructions. The success of such a talk is always there however clapping intensity of audience hands speaks VOLUMES as in present case. Thanks.
