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.

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.

Your patience will be both appreciated and rewarded

Be good at something. It makes you valuable. Have something to bring to the table, because that will make you more welcome.

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.

If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?

Never lose the child-like wonder. It’s just too important. It’s what drives us. Help others.
