Things I did not understand the Value of

 Talents

Intelligence

Relationships

Money 


What else is there?  Life is short and we get a few opportunities to improve our lot.  What we make of our natural gifts and our opportunities is going to influence our situation in the future.   It comes down to good and bad decisions.


But what if we lacked experience or the information necessary to make sound choices?

The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty and truth. ~ Albert Einstein
