Taking things for granted seems to be pretty widespread certainly here in the uk What has impressed me is that in some countries such as Turkey,for instance, if you make an arrangement with someone they will always qualfy the arrangement with the words to the effect of "if Allah so wills"they do not take for granted that they will be here tomorrow!I try to learn from this ans adopt this idea into my own life,for I am often just taking things for granted,I can learn a lot from others in different lands.

kind regards michael.
