To be cliché, death is a part of life and it's going to happen to all of us. I have the blessing of getting a little bit of advance notice and I am able to optimize my use of time down the home stretch.

A lot of people want a shortcut. I find the best shortcut is the long way, which is basically two words: work hard.

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

somehow, with the passage of time, and the dealines that life imposes, surrending became the right thing to do

Sometimes, all you have to do is ask.

You will need to find your passion. Don't give up on finding it because then all you're doing is waiting for the Reaper.

We keep what is valuable to us, what we cherish.
