Everything changes but the landscapes of the heart. Attention, for one day it will be too late. A sense of value, the inalienable place of the individual in the scheme of things, with all that accrues to the individual. Self reliance, courage, conviction, self respect and respect for others. A sense of humor.
Laughter leavens life.
The meaning of discipline. If we falter at discipline, life will do it for us. The will to work. Satisfying work is the lasting joy. The talent for sharing, for it is not so much what we give as what we share.
