Born in the 1930s, I have lived and learned wisdom over the decades. I pass on these seven sensible suggestions as advice to young people.
1. BEST—Always do your best. When I was a freshman in college, gym (which I disliked) was mandatory. The instructor had us line up and run the length of the gym at full sprint. As the “winner” by a few strides, I was asked to go out for track. I made the team as a walk-on and was put on full scholarship at the Division I university. (I held the indoor scholarship record for 14 years.)
