The saddest words in our language are
"I wish I had when I had the chance".
Don't spend your time looking back at
What you could have done; go do it,
Do it now.
If it is at all possible,
DO IT NOW!

You can't look back wistfully if
You didn't have a chance,
But if you DO have that
Chance now,
TAKE IT NOW!

Go on that trip, try out for a
Play,
Take those piano lessons; go
"Spelunking".

Whatever it is, if it is your desire and you have
The opportunity now,
TAKE IT NOW!

Don't wait until you are old, the opportunity is passed and
All you can do is look back with sad regret thinking
"I wish I had done that when I
Had the chance.”

Life is for living, the
Time for that is now.

Life is a gift; That is why they call it
“The Present.”
I know, that is a Cliché.
It is still true.
