A Father's Thoughts

Today in our office devotional the brother who was sharing the thought told us some things his father had taught him growing up.  I thought they were pretty good.

There are people who learn from the experiences of others.
There are people who learn from their own experiences.
There are people who never learn.
What kind of person are you?
What kind of person would you like to be?

When Elder W went away to university his father had more thoughts for him.

You can study hard, go to class, and learn a lot.
You can work hard and support yourself.
You can play hard and socialize and have a great time.
You can do two of these three.

Elder W said that he tried to do all three when he first got to university.  He learned that his father was correct.  You cannot do all three.

These seemed like reasonable things to teach our children and grandchildren if they have not already learned them and so I am sharing them with anyone who wants to listen.
