10.ON OBSERVATION

“The single observation I would offer for your consideration is that some things are beyond your control. You can lose your health to illness or accident. You can lose your wealth to all manner of unpredictable sources. What is not easily stolen from you without your cooperation is your principles and your values? They are your most important possessions and, if carefully selected and nurtured, will well serve you and your fellow man.”
