This devotional address entitled, Have No Regrets, was given on September 12th of 1999 by Richard G. Scott, then a member of the quorum of the 12th of the 12 Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I'm deeply humbled to be in communication with you tonight.

You are some of the most choice, righteous,

and devoted to Father in Heaven's children on earth.

I've had the personal privilege

of being with many of you in different locations

throughout the world.

I am most grateful for this opportunity to share another experience with you tonight.

You represent the flower of the youth of the church.

I feel that as a body, you are better prepared and are more valiant in

confronting the challenges of the world in your determination to obey the master than any other

generation in the history of the church. The challenges you face are also more numerous and more intensely

focused. Yet never was there a more exciting, stimulating, potentially productive time to live on

earth. Some of you are ending a summer vacation and beginning a new

experience in formal education. Others are nearing completion of that education. Some are doing

other important things. All face vitally important decisions. From whatever background or whatever activity

you come, I welcome you. Inasmuch as this assignment has been known for some time, I've pondered and prayed

way different alternative subjects and finally felt to select one

intended to help you make well those decisions that vitally affect your happiness now and

forever.
