[My pain?]

Smart people learn from their mistakes, wise people learn from the mistakes of others.

Youth is wasted on the young, don't you think? I have often said that if I knew what I know know... my youth would have been 100x more fulfilling. I would have had 100% of the fun without the drama and the pain. Then maybe, I would have had an even more fulfulling adult life.

I wish when I was growing up, more people took me aside to "coach" me about things that the future might bring. Just so I have a better perspective of what lies ahead.

No not someone who will scold me and tell me NOT to do things.. but someone who would have said... "I know how this will end, I have been there before...so you better be careful with your next move so you do not fall into the same traps I did."

It is my life goal to impart whatever "knowledge" i have on the young and make their lives just a little bit better.
Live, learn and pray...that the learning part comes first. I think I wrote that in my yearbook quote many years ago. Still true today.

Do you ever feel...

....that you should be doing more?

Saturdays are especially bad. It seems to fly by. Saturdays are REALLY my only day off. Sundays do not even count as a day off because I have so much to do... not complaining.. I like my Sundays...
I just feel there are not enough hours on Saturdays...
Blink and it's Monday. I don't like Mondays.

1000 cranes.

An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures (others include the dragon and the tortoise), and is said to live for a thousand years. In Asia, it is commonly said that folding 1000 paper origami cranes makes a person's wish come true.

Make me 1000 cranes.
