The single greatest piece of Life Advice I've been given is...
Live a life of no regrets by avoiding the 5 top regrets of the dying Life Advice- little pearls of wisdom passed on to us from those we respect, hold in high esteem and very often, love unconditionally.

But all this inspiration aside, it's what the kids say that I love most of all.

Their innocence and naïvety  is refreshing and brings a smile to my face. Kids are so in tune with their emotions that they speak from the heart. Force of logic hasn't filtered their want to have fun, share smiles and be kind to all those they meet.

We can all learn from the kids in our lives, can't we?
