““If you like to wonder about what you have done in life...know that wondering is about weighing the worth of your actions.

Deeper within, you would realize that you never were for you could never be the actor or the actress! For you have done nothing since you can do nothing! But it is good to begin wondering in the first place. It already puts you ahead in the path of progress!””
