20 Thoughts for My 20-Year Old Son on August 20th


Walgreens will donate a vaccine for every comment up to the 50,000th until 8/31/2013. This is part of the United Nations Foundation “Shot@Life” program that educates, connects, and empowers the championing of vaccines as one of the most cost effective ways to save the lives of children in the world’s hardest to reach places.

Every comment counts (so you can comment multiple times) until 8/31/2013. Comments must be on this initial post. Tweets, likes, shares and retweets do not count, but the more you share this post, the more likely that there will be comments.

Here are my 20 thoughts for my 20-year-old son:

1. Spend a semester at an overseas campus.
2. Spanish is the new Mandarin.
3. Under promise and over deliver.
4. Switch from iOS to Android.
5. Never use more than ten PowerPoint slides.
6. Pursue moments of joy, not permanent happiness.
7. Challenge the known.
8. Embrace the unknown.
9. Keep playing the ukelele.
10. True learning starts after you graduate.
11. If you fail, fail at difficult tasks.
12. There is a bright, immovable line between right and wrong.
13. Money cannot buy health.
14. Your first job won't matter in the long run.
15. Children will be the greatest source of joy in your life.
16. Never check baggage.
17. Engineers give buildings; MBAs give money.
18. Buy experiences, not objects.
19. Enjoy your family and friends before they are gone.
20. Pass me the puck.

What did I miss? What would you tell your son?
