Your tips for graduates, from the perspective of your life experience.

Dear friends! Most of you who read and comment on my blogs already know I'm a special boy's mom. But I am also a mom of a very smart, intelligent, creative, beautiful, kind daughter. She is a million times better than me. She is active in various intellectual competitions, writes poems, is interested in history, mythology, space and astronomy, and dreams of working for Nasa. She dreams of designing a large vacuum cleaner that will clean the planet from dirt and change the world. But to build houses in the air that would not occupy space on earth and would not destroy nature. She is worried about the global problems of the world. In particular, pollution, the extinction of rare species of animals and plants on earth, as well as its concern with human cruelty and war. At the age of 10, she outperforms her peers with her outlook on life. So today, as always at the dinner table, we discussed different topics. And she remembered how 2 years ago, participated in the competition on the topic of "the future in 100 years". The best works are in the time capsule. Her picture of the future was one of them. And my daughter and I decided to make such a "time capsule" for her and her brother and school graduates. I usually support any idea of ??children that helps them to develop. So I decided to join and started writing a letter of advice for the future. Of course it is quite voluminous. But I would like to hear your opinion as well. So, what advice would you give to your children graduating from school? From the point of your life, your life experience? Thank you.

Do something that interests you.

To support oneself, most people must work. Spending a huge amount of your day (and life) in a job, make sure it is something you like, that interests you and that can afford you a decent lifestyle. conversing

Best of luck to your kids. wave
Good advice. Thank you.
Make good friends, and keep them, no matter what relationship you are in, or how far apart you live from your friends. Friends are for life.


Education is important, but learning is more important. Formal education only scratches the surface. Learning is life-long.
Wow. I also wrote about it in my letter. I also think that education is very important. But self-education and openness to knowledge is even more important. Man learns his whole life. And knowledge is found not only in books. But life experience is also part of education. Moreover, negative experience is as useful as positive. Without this, our internal and external growth is not possible. It applies to all aspects of our lives. I thank you for the brilliant words.
Oh. Super. You have a good sense of humor. And I'm also sure you raised your children well. My children are 13 and 10. By the way, I also actively encourage my children to charity and volunteer. Especially we have been doing this in Ukraine. I started doing this long before I was married and having children. It was back in his student years. Then I started attracting children. Most of all we helped the boarding school with special children. Like my son. And children with more complex problems. In most cases, these children have live parents. But they abandoned them and struck them out of their lives. Ukrainian boarding schools look like horror movie homes. But the biggest problem is that these kids need love. Need just human warmth, hugs. Simple things at first glance. But such are not available to them. Some of these girls are still calling me. Yes, I myself have experienced an unpleasant situation. When my daughter was 4 months old. That is the family of my husband (the father of the children), they wanted me to give up my son as well. They were from a religious family. And they considered my son a disgrace to them. They were rich. And they put me before the choice. If I want to stay in their house, I have to leave my son. If I do not agree. I have to leave the house. I usually chose the last option. I left them and took the children. I invented the house. And we lived there. It was very difficult. Ukrainian corruption law does not protect women. But I regret nothing. My kids are my biggest treasure. My greatest joy. So I started taking care of this boarding school again. But already involve my children in this activity.

Um..You can write about yourself whatever you like. But the question is, will the same reality be the same for different people ? It's like Tchaikovsky's music . For some, it's passion, an ocean of emotions, and others just fall asleep. And that's wh [read more]
