Among other things, it reminds that we all get "lucky breaks" from time to time. Most people don't recognize, appreciate, or take advantage of them and simply let them pass by.
I wish DNotes fell on my lap ten years earlier but instead of wishing what I cannot chance I consider it as my luckiest break of a life time. If it is being reflected that way, it is because I believe that it is. As Henry Ford said, Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.
Enjoy.

Ten Choices You Will Always Regret Making
Hindsight is a funny thing. Look forward and the path seems uncertain, the future unpredictable. Look back and all the dots seem to connect... except the dots that mark the choices you didn't make, and the risks you didn't take.
Here are choices you will someday regret having made:
1. Choosing not to be brave.
Being brave doesn't mean you aren't afraid -- in fact, the opposite is true. Courage without thought or meaning is simply recklessness. Brave people aren't fearless;they've simply found something that matters more to them than fear.
Say you're scared to start a business. Find a reason that means more: creating a better future for your family, wanting to make a real difference, or hoping for a more rewarding and fulfilling life.
