2.  What do you know NOW that you wish you had known THEN?

Tracey Magrann:  I wish I had realized that the cause of a lot of my angers, fears, and depressions were caused by lack of appreciation.  Once I learned that half of the world’s population is illiterate, without electricity, and that they live on only $2 a day, I began to appreciate my life.  My ancestors would have LOVED to be able to get light just by flipping a switch, get water by turning a knob, having the garbage picked up and disposed of by the side of the house. When I compare myself to those who have less, instead of looking at those who have more, I am much happier every day.
