I finished reading two inspirational article on the topic and is posting the link on one:http://www.inspirationandchai.... Other one was on chronicle and isn't freely available. The last para from the article: It's very possible that, in 2020, I could have finished the book project I started this summer and even been promoted to full professor. It's also possible that I will have visited countries I have wanted to visit since childhood. And I could accomplish a number of concrete things that have been on my mind for years. But none of that would mean anything if I achieved them unfairly, unethically, and with a constant negative attitude. In other words, it is possible to acquire many concrete things no matter what kind of person we are, and I want to focus a bit more on the person and not the accomplishments. Five points: 1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. 2. I wish I didn't work so hard. 3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings. 4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. 5. I wish that I had let myself be happier. When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.  Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness. The question was: What do you want the person you become in 2020 to say about the person you are now in 2010 and in the coming years?
