The Oracles
Have you ever wished you could go back in time and give your younger self advice? Time travel may not be possible, but the next best thing is learning from others.what they would wish they knew in their 20s."I made some stupid decisions growing up, but I probably wouldn't be as successful if I hadn't made them. So I would tell my younger self that mistakes are OK, as long as you learn from them.
Some things you just have to learn for yourself. You can tell people like me not to touch a hot stove, but we'll still do it. Given a chance, I'd probably touch it again — because that's how you learn. Today every kid gets a trophy regardless of how they place, but that's not how it should be. Because I was dyslexic, my mother told me that I would have to work twice as hard as other kids to get the same things. So I went through life with that attitude. I came in a little earlier and went home a little later, and it always paid off."
