It is the journey, NOT the destination. Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee. Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Sing like nobody's listening. Live like it's Heaven on Earth. Enjoy life to its fullest. Do so, and everything else will fall in to place. My most important bit of knowledge, is knowing I don't know anything about anything.
