According to deathclock.com, (click below for link), I've got 28 years (actually 895,662,000 seconds and counting) left to live if all goes well. Of course, I plan on making that 38+ more healthy years, but I'm an optimist, if not an outright dreamer.

The point, though, is how to not waste those valuable seconds and what to do with them. I read a great short speech given by Wil Wheaton at a Sci Fi convention----advice to a newborn. He ended it with this:
"This is really important: I want you to be honest, honorable, kind. I want you to work hard. Because everything worth doing is hard. And I want you to be awesome, and I will do my very best to leave you a planet that you can still live on."
We could all benefit from following this advice.
Work hard
Be awesome
Do your best to leave behind a planet where people can still live
