Advice Lists

I may really age myself with this blog, but back when I graduated from college, in 01' (gasp) there was am email forwarding phenomena called 'always wear sunscreen'. As in most email forwards, it was often touted as being the speech read at Harvard in that same year, although I have not found any proof this is true. It is kinda like the email forward warning you of ever traveling abroad for fear someone will steal your kidney's and leave you in a tub of ice. Anyway.......besides the fact that someone embellished its purpose, I really love this forward. It popularity was based mostly on the pure simplicity and humor of the advice given.

Here are some of the more memorable quotes: "Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing gum. Real troubles are apt to blind-side you at 4 p.m. on an idle Tuesday." or more practical is, "Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone." And finally the best advice ever "travel".

Have you ever noticed, how most 'advice' lists have a portion about travel? Whether it is a cliche like 'travel off the beaten path' or 'make your own directions', people have always had a desire to experience other cultures or environments. So here is my small piece of advice for the day..... travel as much as you can!
