• Do the things that you've always dreamed of doing NOW. Don’t postpone them. My dad loved to be in the outdoors, but he was always so busy as a school principal that he didn't give himself that pleasure very often.

It was pretty wrenching to not only see him suffer so badly but also to realize that he had been cheated out of his dream.
