I'd imagine many of us have had mistakes that take 10 years to put right! I can think of a couple of things I've only recently finished off. Most of us have Honour and Integrity, and great amounts of Glory in the field of Computers, most of us, perhaps even Novartic too are truely Captains of Men!
I think I've been reading too much Sharpe! I have a far superior quote though, leaving the best until last:
Lois McMaster Bejold said:Adulthood isn't an award they'll give you for being a good child. You can waste... years, trying to get someone to give that respect to you, as though it were a sort of promotion or raise in pay. If only you do enough, if only you are good enough. No. You have to just... take it. Give it to yourself, I suppose. Say, I'm sorry you feel like that and walk away. But that's hard.
Madeline L'Engle said:When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.

Bill Gates said:The great thing about a computer notebook is that no matter how much you stuff into it, it doesn't get bigger or heavier.
