Dr. Jack Kruse: "I've also had the very unique opportunity to do something that I think everybody should do. When I was in medical school, the most beneficial training I ever got is I was forced in my fourth year, didn't want to do it, be the first one to tell you, this is where part of 'embracing the suck' comes from.

"Embracing the suck was I had to go to an old age home and sit down and take care of people on the back nine, maybe on the 18th hole. And I decided okay, I'm going to make the best of this. So I started to be agent provocateur, even as a young doctor. I said, 'Tell me, what's your one regret?' And I got something I didn't expect. Every single person I asked the question to, is the things they didn't do."

Robert Breedlove: "Which were?"

Dr. Jack Kruse: "For everybody it was different."

Robert Breedlove: "Oh, just activities they didn't do."

Dr. Jack Kruse: "No, things that they had always set their mind to, I'm going to do it, and they didn't do it. And I thought it was very unusual that all these old people who are totally disconnected all had the same regret."

Robert Breedlove: "That they wanted to do more."

Dr. Jack Kruse: "Yeah! And then I started to think, what was the essence of that? How did I distill that lesson down? It's why I told you the answer I told you about on the billboard: don't waste time."

Robert Breedlove: "Yeah."

Dr. Jack Kruse: "All of them, fundamentally, they wasted time. And that's why they never got and put the tip of the spear in the right place."
