My wife just sent me an email that has something for all of us. Enjoy!

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

 - Respect for others and

 - Responsibility for all your actions.

4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

I tried to pick a favorite to expand on, but there are so many good ones, I figured that I'd leave it to you.
