1. The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.
2. If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
3. People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.
4. No matter how hard you try to bury it, it just won’t go away. That's when you know you have to pursue it

Another victim of FB:
My patient asked me to help him signing up for FB. He has heard a lot about it but could never manage to get it due to his physical condition. It's quite an exciting thing for him and he asked me to go around the unit , just to write down names of his friends so that he could add them on FB. Talking about him, I just realized how much I have taken life for granted and would never appreciate it much. Someone without functional arms and legs still cheer up for life and try to live happily while I keep nagging about my failures and about the lack of motivation to get back up.
A small gesture makes my day and change my biased prejudices about some certain people:
While I was going for groceries yesterday, I tried to get a shopping cart. However, I didn't have any change. A kind lady gave me her cart. It was a simple act but it really touches my heart. Having been living in a rough area for a year and going through some tough periods, I have became a bit colder and have some prejudices about certain group of people. Yet, a big lesson is "some people behave badly doesn't mean all of them are bad"

"Nick. You know that there are friends, people, life, love, gfs... You gotta enjoy life" told my manager and "Study, study and study, dear. You don't want to end up like me" told an old lady at the flower factory where I worked part time.
Those words struck my mind...
on a side note: How do you put a price on happiness? How do you put a price on regret? Only you can answer those questions! Everyone has a different risk threshold and amount they are willing to sacrifice......... You only live once no redos ya know
