From Those Who Came Before Us

When you are young, you tend to be full of yourself. No one can tell you anything because you know what’s best. And typically you aren’t shy about offering others your “wisdom” and advice, whether people want it or not.

With age comes experience and some wisdom. Years of living and learning have taught you to be open minded about much of life’s experiences. Life is a great teacher. Sometimes the lessons are hard, even harsh. But you learn that you will get through your darkest days if you don’t give up.

I encourage you to seek out the life stories of older, probably much wiser men and women. You can learn a lot from them. Their experiences will help shape your best thinking.

Don’t brush off the old people. You will be one yourself one day…
