“Our inexperience might be what gives us the ability to teach our elders something.”

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of family encouragement.

And when school doesn’t offer the same, it’s easy to tune out.

It is imperative to create opportunities for children so that we can grow up to blow you away.

If I had my way, I’d end all wars and poverty.

If you pursued something that you felt strongly about, then I call that success.

As children, we have a tenuous idea of love.

The first thing anyone can do, about any issue, is get informed.

The unsaid message of that endless rack of juniors’ pushup bras?

I wouldn’t call myself a geek, but I do sometimes teach Mommy and Daddy stuff about computers.

The next step is figuring out how you’re going to do it.

But where’s the encouragement to lead meaningful lives right now?

It reeks of all-Americanness, tension, drama.

Young people are often asked, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ and given advice about how to lead meaningful adult lives.

CEOs of top companies could probably use a dose of not-asking-for-raise behavior and less self-entitlement.

The challenge is getting everyone to pay attention to it.

Since the age of four, I’ve been exploring what I can do with the written word.

If you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius.

There are now no elders who know more than the young themselves about what the young are experiencing.

For the very first time the young are seeing history being made before it is censored by their elders.

I savour the adulation and love I have been getting from my fans and the blessings of elders in my family.

If you teach, you see this is not true. It may be that newer generations do not worship the text as some of their elders do.

Offspring were a joy or a shame, but still the crown of their elders, nature’s unpredictable creatures.

The love and blessings of your elders is also always cherished, but the extra mile that the fans go to is memorable.

You will be courteous to your elders who have explored to the point from which you may advance; and helpful to your juniors who will progress farther by reason of your labors.
