    How would you live your life differently?

    Nadine Stair, an 85-year-old woman from Louisville, Kentucky, shares her answer when asked, "How would you have lived your life differently if you had a chance?"
    ​
    "If I had my life to live over again, I’d dare to make more mistakes next time. I’d relax. I’d limber up. I’d be sillier than I’ve been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances, I would eat more ice cream and less beans.

    I would, perhaps, have more actual troubles but fewer imaginary ones. You see, I’m one of those people who was sensible and sane, hour after hour, day after day.

    If I had to live my life over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances, I would ride more merry-go-rounds, I would pick more daisies."

    I often remind myself that most of my troubles are imagined. 

    I can create all the plans I want, and sometimes the universe sends something else entirely.

    Sometimes this feels like ‘troubles I should worry about’.  Other times, it comes as an opportunity I must stretch to say yes to.

    I couldn’t have predicted my life of today 10 years ago. So many of the imagined troubles never

    Moments (poem)

    Poem in Spanish of unknown origin

    Moments (Spanish: Instantes) is the title of a text wrongly attributed to Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. It was widely spread through articles, compilations, posters and emailchain letters, mainly in Spanish.

    Spanish versions, with some variations, consist of a first person narrated poem about an 85-year-old person who regrets not having enjoyed some simple pleasures during his life and instead having focused on safety and correctness.

    The vocabulary, syntax and style do not match those of Borges.[1][2]

    Original text and author

    [edit]

    The first known version of the text was authored by American humorist and cartoonist Don Herold, and published by College Humor before 1935, or perhaps early that year, under the title "I'd Pick More Daisies".[3] Herold's text is in prose, and it lacks the melancholic tone of the Spanish poem. E.g.:

    If I had my life to live over, I'd try to make more mistakes next time. I would relax. I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I know of very few things that I would take seriously. I would be crazier. I would be less hygienic. I would take more chances. I would take more trips. I would climb more mountains and swim more ri
