An inspirational quote

[kmus]

For thought:

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Dream. Explore. Discover."

-Mark twain.

a comment on this wisdom by Peter W., Casco (on https://www.values.com):

"The old Harvard Square fire chief often shared morning breaks with me. Occasionally he would tell me a story, stories that were true and unusual; stories I looked forward to. One day the old fireman looked at me, his eyes moist with wisdom and regret and he said, "Peter there were so many things that I wanted to do during my life. Take my family to special places, go on walks with my daughter.There were hundreds of things I was going to do someday. And now here I am in the twilight of my life and there are very few some days left. My life has gone by in the blink of an eye and so many dreams and plans went unfulfilled. Please don't make the same mistake. Follow your dreams, act on your plans, and do it now not someday. Don't let your life run through your fingers like water, grab hold and live every day as if it will be your last." I was sixteen then, I am fifty six now. How priceless were his words. I have tried to live by them and my life is rich, and full, and wonderful beyond what I could have ever imagined."
