“It is not often that anyone can have so much knowledge of another as is necessary to make instruction useful.” Samuel Johnson
As I get older, I get questions on how life works. I’ve given up trying to give people specific advice since I know today’s world bears little resemblance to my world at their age. It’s so much easier (and less responsibility) to just share my experience, my consequences when I made bad choices, my lessons learned. Anything beyond that is insulting at best, and borderline meddling at worst. Recently I was asked how I got promoted at work. I had no idea about the policies and culture at her job, so anything based on my career path would likely sound like a party-line by comparison. So I merely said, “I did the very best job in my current position.”

WelcomeI love the wisdom of the ages gleaned from relevant quotes. In them there is a connection to the human experience that crosses all borders. Join me as I relate my personal experiences, and link the wisdom of the quote to the Source of all wisdom: God's Word, the Bible. Enjoy, Libby Categories
