You can’t put an old head on young shoulders, or so they say. But some wisdom does get passed on. We want to hear the nuggets of advice that have guided you
“If you want to be a good writer, son, you must read. Read, read, read. Read everything.”
I can still picture my grandfather imparting those words of wisdom to me from the green leather chair in my grandparents’ living room. He was not always a man to heed advice himself – he was smoking a cigar at the time – but he had plenty to offer. That nugget stuck. And lo, he was right.
As we explore youth and education in the next issue of Positive News magazine, we thought we’d ask readers about the life lessons they received as a child that have stuck with them.
Please note, the deadline for responses has now passed. Thanks to all those who got in touch.
