Life is a pot purée of highs and lows, neither of which last forever, so be bold and ride the highs and use the lows as a launch pad for greatness.
Use each day as though it were to be your last!
Today is only lent to you, use it or lose it. Tomorrow is only promised, it is not guaranteed. Yesterday cannot be undone,it may only be used for reference.
It is how you handle yourself in times of adversity that determines your final destination.
And this too shall pass away.
It does matters not how many years you live, what matters is what you put into the years you live.
