Remember how teachers used to write on your report card that you weren't living up to your potential?  (OK, maybe it was just me.)  Anyway, I agree that self-improvement is good and we should all strive to be better human beings.  But once we get to a certain age, maybe we're as good as we're going to get.  And, frankly, that's pretty dang good, assuming you're wearing this gorgeous wristlet of gray agate and red aventurine.  (P.S. Stacks nicely with the "Holding Pattern" bracelet.)
