A few months ago I was in downtown Salt Lake City standing by the curb at an intersection but wasn't going to cross the street, I was just looking at something. An elderly woman, well older then my 75 years looked at me and as she stepped off the curb she said to me your know you can't get to the other side until you step of the curb don't you. 

I had to laugh and then said thank you for your advice, you think I would have learned that by now. She smiled and said now if I could just teach that to my grandson I would be happy and on her way she went. Her lesson is just the basics, step off the curb, do something, get run over or cross the street, just don't stay on the curb and wait for judgment day. 

One thing I have often heard my peers and elders say is I have no regrets for the things I did, only for the things I didn't do. So listen to them and just do it and keep your regrets to a minimum. Or as one of the most successful people I've ever known said to me if your going to fail, fail big and if you have to, fail often.
