The Secret Journal of Brett Colton Quotes

“If I can leave you only one piece of advice, it would be to do just that with your life—seize every opportunity that comes. Not just big ones, like trying out for the lead in the school play or becoming a doctor someday, but the “little” ones, too, like telling someone “I love you,” and “thanks for being my friend.” Most of the time, those turn out to be the biggest moments and opportunities in your life. I don’t want you to have to live with regrets. Believe me, nothing is worse than having to live with regret.”
