#12This appears to be just some words from PG's article written in nice handwriting in front of a picture of a mountain. Am I missing something?
It's… awkwardly sycophantic.

#13I love that she took the time to paint the words and scan them in. It makes a very big difference I think.
Yes, the non-uniformity of identical letters adds a really nice layer to the aesthetic

I suppose if you think about things in general, all design is just words, shapes, and pictures organized in an aesthetically pleasing and functionally efficient way. This is a wallpaper, so there's less of the latter. :P
wallpaper looks good. choice of mountain as the background fitting the quotes..

#16I always wonder, will what works for pg and other famous people work for me, a relative zero entity? It's great that they have these ideals now that they are esteemed critical thinkers, businessmen, and artists. "Would they have been more or less successful if they had had these ideals back then?" is the question that I would like answered.
Agreed. Note the source -- folks who had gone home to die and spoke with a palliative care nurse, Bronnie Ware. There are many people who die without access to in-home hospice care.* Overall they tend to be poorer and I would bet they have some other regrets not mentioned here (and I'd be interested to read up on them).
Still, it's hard to argue with this advice...
* I believe Medicare (covers most Americans over 65) provides some in-home hospice benefit, so I'm not saying this is limited to the extremely rich, but it is limited to those with a home and the wherewithal to seek hospice care.

#17Why was "don't work too much" rewritten as "don't work too hard"?

#20I feel a little uncomfortable seeing that quote with my name under it. The ideas are Bronnie Ware's; I just transformed them from mistakes to the corresponding commands.
Also, I didn't mean to imply those are the five most important things in life or anything like that. I just wanted to avoid the specific mistakes she described.
