I would always encourage people of any age not to be so quick to follow other people's truths but to search and follow your own moral code and live by your own integrity, and mostly just be brave.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At around nine or 10 years of age, young people start to decide for themselves what's moral or not, and that's why I like writing for that age group so much.
It took me a long time to learn how to be brave enough to put myself out there and try everything, no matter how strange or silly. If I can impart that same wisdom to other folks - no matter what age - it would be an honor.
I tell young people to prepare themselves as best they can for a world that grows more challenging every day-get the best education they can, and couple that education with real-life experience in social justice work.
The minute I was told what to do at any age, I did the opposite. Hopefully I'll do that for the rest of my life.
Now I come to 75 years of age, I think what's most important in life is your conscience. If you told a lie and made other people suffer, I think that's very difficult when you reach this age.
Those who believe in the importance of serving others should lead the way by fighting against the temptation we all have, and maybe especially as we age, to close in upon ourselves.
Most young people have tremendous respect for older people's views.
If I didn't do what I do, I wouldn't be as young as I am.
Another belief of mine; that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise.
Here's my Golden Rule for a tarnished age: Be fair with others, but keep after them until they're fair with you.
