If you're lucky and smart, you'll learn from the experience of thers the lessons life teaches along the way. Since I
was seldom both at the same time, I had to learn them on my own. Here are a few:
- Treaties may be agreed to by nations, but they are negotiated and enforced by men. Be both respectful and
respectable and hold others to that same standard.
- Make sure all your friends are smarter than you are. It makes you better and work harder.
- Your children are your most important legacy. Craft them with care.
- Partner yourself, including in marriage, with persons who can challenge you without belittling you. After
years of toxic relationships, I found, actually she found me, a partner who knew me and respected me.
- Live so that, at the end, you can only regret the days unlived and not the time squandered. I've lived fifteen
years beyond any reasonable expectation and, at this point of my life, I can honestly say I haven't squandered
a day. I think I'll go sit by the mill pond and watch the sun set.
