"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." [Mark Twain]
Too much of the time I think I have let my todays come and go without really doing something. Mark Twain is right -- everyone needs to explore, dream and discover. And Erma Bombeck explains why:
"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything you gave me." [Erma Bombeck]
Auntie Mame said, "Live!" And don't forget to find a way to give too.
So today, set sail, do something and use those talents you've been given.
