Life is accumulative - Either our errors accumulate to what we don't get, or our wise decisions accumulate into what we do get.

It's important to learn from your mistakes, but it is BETTER to learn from other people's mistakes, and it is BEST to learn from other people's successes. It accelerates your own success.

We must be careful not to let our current appetites steal away any chance we might have for a future feast

Life responds to deserve and not to need.

It is hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal development.
