Being arrogant for 47~ish years, did nothing good for me. Now I work hard on being friendly, curious and kind towards others.

- codazoda 4y agoAs my grandfather lay dying in a hospital bed he said, "I wish I had been a nicer person". I'm glad you figured this out with time to make adjustments and I hope that it brings you a smile in your final days.
- andersthue 4y agoIt brings me nothing but good experiences already, and I for sure will smile at the end of my days here on earth knowing I at least for some time had a positive impact on others.

- bgilroy26 4y agoIt's a koan
- codazoda 4y agoSorry, I meant that he can be nice for years and then he can smile when those final days do come. I didn’t mean he’s in his final days. :)
- OJFord 4y agoThat's relating to GP's anecdote about his own grandfather's 'final days', who regretted not doing so - i.e. may GGP not have such regret when the time comes.
