Highly educated, deeply ignorant. The things I wish I had known when I was 21.
With a son who is about to turn 18, a daughter about to turn 16 and a stepson who seems to be catching them up despite his 11 years, I have been giving some thought to what I wish I’d known when I was a younger man. I’ve learned lots of lessons, all the hard way. What would this limping, scarred old man say to his 21 year old self? What lessons will I pass onto my three? ----------------------------------------------------- Ignore health fads. The only health advice you ever need is to eat well, exercise often and always make time to listen to great music that makes you dance around the lounge, on your own, like a total loon. Invest in your mind, body and soul. It’s the friend you’ll know the longest . Ignore what anyone else wants for your life, despite their best intentions they’ll make you waste it. You are beautifully and perfectly made for a reason. Find it and live it without apology. You are enough . You don’t have to prove anything to any...
