…by the things that you didn’t do
than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines
and sail away from the safe harbor
catch the trade winds in your sails, now is the best time
the whole world is for you to explore
ask questions when you’re confused,
learn all you could
and discover
life’s mysteries and wonders;
Don’t stop until you get to where
reality becomes one with dream but better than what could ever be imagined.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
