It’s all borrowed time.
You shouldn’t take anything for granted, not even tomorrow.
I offer you the “hit by a bus” rule. Would I regret spending my life this way if I were to get hit by a bus next week or next year?

Don’t try to be great
Charles Wheelan gave a piece of advice to the graduates:
“Don’t try to be great.
Being great involves luck and other circumstances beyond your control.
Think less about being great, just let it happen. And if it doesn’t, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being solid.”
Try to be solid.
