Learn While You Are Young

"We never lose the skills and abilities we develop when we are young.
We tend to get better at them with age. We should always learn
everything we can while we are young. Things we can learn now, we may
never be able to go back and learn later. So don't miss out. Get busy
right away."

Jeffrey Zakula

As a parent, do you ever find yourself thinking "I wish I had learned
that while I was a kid?" I seem to be thinking that a lot lately. I
have resolved to take two steps with my sons. (1) I will encourage
them to learn all they can while they are young. (2) I will try to
emphasize things that are truly important and not waste time with the
trivial.

My goal will be that as they look back, they will only infrequently
wish they would have learned something they did not.
