What could I take away from todays reading to improve my life?

I learned a lot from todays reading of the book Friday Night Lights.  The characters in this book come from a small town which is similar to me.  Some tragic this happened to them in this book.  So I learned not to take a single day for granite.  I learned how good of a life that I have and how good of a town that I live in.  Any person can learn a lot from the book Friday Night Lights.
