LIFE and VALUE OF TIME

“If I had my life to live over again, I would try to make more mistakes next time… I’d try not to be so damned perfect; I’d relax more, I’d limber up. I’d be sillier than I’ve been on this trip; In fact, I know of very few things I’d take quite so seriously; I’d be crazier…and I’d certainly be less hygenic; I’d take more chances…I’d take more trips… I’d climb more mountains…I’d swim more rivers… And I’d watch more sunsets, I’d burn more gasoline, I’d eat more ice-cream – and fewer beans; I’d have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones. You see, I was one of those people who lived prophylactically and sensibly, hour- after- hour, and day-after-day. Oh, that doesn’t mean I didn’t have my moments, But if I had it all to do over, I’d have more of those moments, In fact, I’d try to have nothing but wonderful moments, side-by-side. I was one of those people who never went anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a gargle, a raincoat and a parachute; If I had it to do all over again, I’d travel lighter next time. If I had my life to live over again, I’d start barefoot earlier in the spring and I’d stay that way later in the fall; I’d play hookey a lot more; I’d ride more merry-go-rounds, I’d pick more flowers; I’d hug more children, I’d tell more people that I loved them, If I had my life to live over again; But, you see, I don’t”.
