A Wall of Wisdom for my eldest daughter (help needed)
October 31, 2007 By: Lester Spence Category: black family, announcementsMy daughter turns 13 next week. A teenager.
What my wife and I are interested in doing is building a “wall of wisdom”. A collection of ideas and sayings from people we’ve come across in our physical and virtual sojourn.
If you could tell a teenager one thing, what would it be? Because we’re actually building something we’d like whatever you write to be short enough to put on a note card of some sort.
Oh. Feel free to link to this…I’m interested in getting responses from as many people as I can.
As it turns out, the most important thing I had to get my daughter to understand, and the hardest, was "Your father loves you such that he won't kill you over a mistake, no matter how big you think it is." I don't know if that's the sort of thing he's looking for...

“wall of wisdom”.
Always be aware of your surroundings.
People: Hear what they say, but watch what they do.
Cool, especially the second
Cool, especially the second one.
Spence passes through here and will catch them. Y'all can leave them at his spot too, though.
Done
that's a wonderful gift.
Look ahead.
As a teenager, the approval of others will seem like the most important thing in the world.
As an adult, being able to live with yourself is the most important thing in the world--and what other people think is the least important.
