So much, in so little time.

I marvel at people that achieve so much at a young age. Maybe they sense they have to do it now. Rather than later. Because they are going to be short-lived. Take the great composers Schubert and Mozart. One died at 30. The other at 35. One wonders what more they would have achieved if they had lived long enough to die of Alzheimer's. Yet, in their brief lifetimes, they created immense works of beauty and human emotion. Almost as if they had crammed 1,000 years of creativity into their lives. --Jim Broede
