At my graduation get together, my grandparents who were unable to fly to the USA for the ceremony sent an email congratulatory speech to be read to me after graduation. A similar poem was once quoted by Mother Teresa. The following words are words of advice from my Grandfather to me, and are words of wisdom we should all keep in mind, and perhaps a list of rules we should live our life by:

LIFE IS A CHALLENGE, MEET IT
LIFE IS A GIFT, ACCEPT IT
LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE, DARE IT
LIFE IS A SORROW, OVERCOME IT
LIFE IS A TRAGEDY, FACE IT
LIFE IS A GAME, PLAY IT
LIFE IS A MYSTERY, UNFOLD IT
LIFE IS AN OPPORTUNITY, TAKE IT
LIFE IS A JOURNEY, COMPLETE IT
LIFE IS A SONG, SING IT
LIFE IS A PROMISE, FULFILL IT
LIFE IS A BEAUTY, PRAISE IT
LIFE IS A STRUGGLE, FIGHT IT
LIFE IS A PUZZLE, SOLVE IT
LIFE IS A GOAL, ACHIEVE IT
