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."

to follow up, some cheering hit lyrics:

"The Nights"

Hey, once upon a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared
The animals inside came out to play
Hey, went face to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
Made memories we knew would never fade

One day my father—he told me,
"Son, don't let it slip away."
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,

"When you get older
Your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid."

He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember."
My father told me when I was just a child
These are the nights that never die
My father told me

[Instrumental]

When thunder clouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can't put out
Carve your name into those shining stars
He said, "Go venture far beyond these shores.
Don't forsake this life of yours.
I'll guide you home no matter where you are."

One day my father—he told me,
"Son, don't let it slip away."
When I was just a kid I heard him say,

"When you get older
Your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid."

He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember."
My father told me when I was just a child
These are the nights that never die
My father told me

These are the nights that never die
My father told me
Hey, hey

Avicii

Be wild, you'll never miss it!
