Pure gold right here on this post!
People don't realize that since the day we are born the clock starts ticking and every minute is precious!!
Striving for Perfection
I especially loved the perfectionists part, i was once like that, trying to make everything as perfect as i could, i only wanted straight A and if I couldn't get them i wouldn't even go to the exams, it was impossible! Since i started making things "good enough" i've found i can do a lot more! And, in my opinion, a lot of good enough make perfection!
Thinking About the Past
We should never stop going forward, the past is only important because it teaches us the lessons to have a better future!
Daydreaming
Dreams are only dreams until we accomplish them, to accomplish them we need to work for them... because, like my mother likes to say, "nothing falls down on your lap from the sky" (is there an english expression for this? maybe money doesn't grow on trees...)
Hmm, maybe the English would be "You don't get something for nothing"?
Yes, it's more or less like that, my country has some of the weirdest expressions i've ever seen
