Hope y'all found it a little inspiring. Sometimes these sorts of things can be a little corny, but coming from Simon Murray who's lived a hell of a life, it makes sense

Very interesting
The paradox is that when we are young at the beginning, when we have time, we rush at life. And as we get older and time diminishes, the need to rush also diminishes. This is not a betrayal of dreams of youth, but more the acceptance of causes that maybe we lost, and a selection of priorities, family, friends, whatever and a more focused defence of those priorities. And can we pass all this knowledge to our children and should we pass it to our children, or should we let them find out for themselves. It is the pursuit of knowledge, not knowledge itself, that makes life fascinating.
