You gain in appreciation of people，in understanding and apprec iation of yourself. You begin to see the wisdom in that quotation i have so often repeated to you ’to thine own self bu true，every year of this time，i have repeat that quotation to you and the time is not really too far distant when you will bu passing it on to your own kid. Its probably the best single piece of advice i can give you ,or you can give your abildron
