No Picnic

Here’s an interesting party question: Given the opportunity, would you actually go back in time to be your younger self? I’ve asked a number of people, and almost everyone says, “No way.”

All the romanticizing about youth aside, giving it a cold, hard look (some people visibly wince) reminds us those younger years were not exactly a picnic.

The second most common answer is, “Sure, if I can bring my current knowledge and experience with me.” Because we recognize, we’ve grown and gained a lot along the way.

It’s actually a handy reminder: We’re still growing. We’re still gaining.
