"Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly,
kiss slowly, love truly, laugh
uncontrollably and never regret anything
that made you smile. Twenty years from
now you will be more disappointed by
the things you didn't do than
by the ones you did. So throw off
the bowlines. Sail away from the safe
harbor. Catch the trade winds in
your sail."
Mark Twain
Sounds very attractive, but there's another option.
This one is also about living life to the fullest,
not by grabbing everything you can but by
giving your life away. This option goes deep,
all the way to core values. Identity. The difference
is in "taking" versus "giving."
The name associated with this option has
been around longer than M.T. It is
Jesus of Nazareth who once said:
"What does it profit a man to gain
the whole world and lose his soul?"
Choose wisely.
