Well with that quote it just might be a good place to help teach young minds to be a plus to the world...
Most here that are adults can look back at themselves and remember when they were 13, 14 ect ect...
You can remember older people talking to you and at the time of your youth you thought it to be the talk of a foolish old man... But as you grew older you come to realize the wisdom of which in your youth you thought was folly...
As a Kid I hated History, My thought was why do we even need to learn what was is in the past??? My belief was we need to focus on the future to make to world a better place and leave the past behind...
Then about when I turned 18 a I remembered what a old man told me while fishing next to him at Four Ridge Lake... We were talking about school and the classes I like... I'll never forgot what he said but it didn't make sense till I was older... He said "In regards to History we need this knowledge to help us move to a better future, Have you ever heard the expression we learn from our mistakes? Well if something is a mistake it can only be History... Then we have to look back in time to find what we did or what was done to cause this mistake... Some times we have to go back thousands of years to find what we need to live our lives the best we can...
There are many other great talks I have had with older people when I was in my youth.. about idea and thoughts but when I was a kid I shrugged them off, but never forgot about them as grew older and I saw the wisdom in what was being said to me years prior to my understanding...
I think you all can look back and will have the same type of story as I have just typed...
So maybe giving these Kids a touch of what is true and wise now and seen by them as foolish will be understood in time to come as wisdom...
