You can learn great things from your mistakes when you aren't busy denying them. Read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

At the end of the day - the long day of your life - as people stand around your grave no one will talk about how big your house was, or how many cars you owned, or your boat or plane... they will only talk about ONE thing and ONE thing ONLY: LOVE! How much you loved them and how much they loved you. So the goal then is to live a life of love. That is all.

Love is not about sex, going on fancy dates, or showing off. It's about being with a person who makes you happy in a way nobody else can.

You are the average of your five closest associates.

You will never become who you want to be if you keep blaming everyone else for who you are now.

Whatever you fill your brain with and whoever you spend your time with... will determine your life a decade from now.

Love and appreciate your parents. We are often so busy growing up; we forget they are also growing old.
