"Don't count the days, make the days count."
I bet most of you will read the beginning of this and roll your eyes. But give me a few minutes to give me a chance to explain.

Don't wish your years away and never take a day for granted.
"The trick is to enjoy life. Don't wish away your days, waiting for better ones ahead."
