What did you learn about yourself from poring over your life story again?

That I didn’t learn too much. How short life is and you best cram in as much as you possibly can. Once you’re gone, you’re gone and that’s it. I’m doing things to the best of my disabilities. I have humor about it. There’s no morbidity in it. There’s no self-pity or whinging or any of that, ’cause that’s incredibly unhealthy.
