11 Pieces of Advice

Peter Rukavina

L’s child L (yes, the initializing is going to get confusing) celebrated their 11th birthday last week, and my gift was a tiny handwritten, hand-bound book of advice. 11 pieces of advice to get them from age 11 to age 22. L1 took photos of the pages of the book and posted them to Facebook; I’m posting them here for posterity, and so L2 can visit ruk.ca/advice when needing a refresher. Or, for that matter, so I can visit for advice, as I’ve found it equally useful when applied to my own life, most especially pages 3, 6, and 10 of late.

Wonderful advice for us all. Thank you for taking the time to do this for the 11-year-old and for posting here for us as well.
