They did for me, too. I learned the one about too much work several years ago when a friend with kids the same age as mine died of cancer, which made me take a good look at the balance of my life and spend more time with my kids (they were 4 and 6 at the time). I'm far too guilty of three of the others, though: the one about having the courage to live a life true to myself, the one about suppressing my feeling to keep the peace, and the one about not letting myself be happy. I'm going to keep this article to hand and have a good think about it.
