Learning what's important in life

I really wish I knew what was a big deal and what was not. For example, I would get so angry about small things like waiting in traffic or someone being late for an appointment.

Now I realize that there was absolutely no benefit from worrying and fussing about those kinds of things.

I also wish I knew the importance of saving. In college I used my credit cards like crazy thinking I would have a lot of opportunity to pay for what I spent later on. Now I see how debt has the tendency to lurk around and that I have seriously hurt my potential to earn interest as opposed to paying interest.
