OK so the point I see in the first post is to appreciate/make use of/live each moment, because each second is infinitely important.  It is a good point, and I agree.

I don't like the 'seemingly unlimited potential' idea, though, because I think even though we can always improve and learn, one of the key parts of living is accepting and dealing with our limitations.  It's always important to not self-impose limitations too, of course, but we can't do everything we want and we gotta live with that fact.

(sorry if im so rational  )
