What 3 pieces of advice would you give to ‘young people’?

by Rick Baker
On Jan 20, 2011
That question was asked this week.
 
Imagine you could provide the best 3 pieces of advice to young people.
 
Imagine your 3 pieces of advice would help these young people have better, more-successful lives…regardless of how they choose to define ‘better’ or ‘success’.
 
What an important thing.
 
What a responsibility!
 
What 3 pieces of advice would you give?
 
I would be thrilled to know the pieces of advice you would give.
 
That would help me test my own thoughts.
 
That would help me provide the best advice.
 
Here are my thoughts…
 
The 3 pieces of advice I would give to ‘young people’:
  1. Dedicate part of each day to understanding yourself: learn confidence and be happy1
  2. Seek first to understand, then to be understood2 …while embracing the differences in people 
  3. Use your strengths in play and in work3
Footnotes:
  1. Learn from people like Napoleon Hill  www.naphill.org …and Eckhart Tolle www.eckharttolle.com
  2. This is Stephen R. Covey’s 5th Habit www.stephencovey.com   
  3. Here’s a link that can help – ‘StrengthsFinder’ www.strengthsfinder.com
