What's in Your Backpack?

I watched a talk John Bytheway gave to an assembly of High School Students today. Among many things he spoke about were five things we can do to get through life better. We can't change the trail but we can lighten our backpacks so the journey isn't as hard.

1. Best way to get the weight our of your backpack is to help others get the weight out of theirs.


2. Spend time with your family and loved ones - nothing else gives us more regret than lost time with family


3. Popularity only lasts till yearbook day - respect lasts a lifetime


4. Focus on what you can give - instead of what you can get.


5. Don't do things that will kill you.

Good advice for us all.
