Trust noone
Be emotionally ready to be let go at any time for little or no reason
Learn a trade AND go to college
Terrorism is a fact of life, get used to it.
A draft will be reinstated
No SS for our kids
This guy is pretty upbeat usually...............wonder if that's a prevailing sentiment?

Kids should be taught to believe that their future is in their hands and if they accept this responsibility, they will be able to respond positively to whatever life hands them - and the unavoidable bumps in the road will not be big enough to derail them. There is simply zero value in being negative.
