Any of the people as old, or older than I am will completely understand what I'm talking about as I write about the wisdom we have gained over the years. The most of what we see are all the chances that we missed along the way. Chances such as furthering our educations where we could get better jobs, etc. But I was too set in my ways to listen to the older people that were trying to give me good advice. I don't know how many of you that know this, but I have only an eight grade education. I am proud of where that eight grade education has taken me, but yet I wish sometimes that I would have gone on to finish school and all. I think of myself as pretty knowledgeable, considering things, but I often think "if I am this knowledgeable with an eight grade education, how much more I would have been with more education.
I surmise that there are lots of people in the same state as I am. the shoulda,coulda,woulda's making us all feel a little guilty.
I want to empress upon the youth of today how important it is to learn everything you can while you are young, in school, in higher learning schools, whether it be a technical school or college. Introduce yourself to the arts, literature, science. Be as well rounded as you can be.
Come back tomorrow as I talk about love, hate relationships.
Until then, God Bless.
