Advice this time to my grandson

 As you embark on your journey into adulthood, I wanted to share some wisdom that I've gathered over the years. These are skills and traits that I believe every young man should possess to navigate through life with confidence and grace.

Firstly, it's important to be physically capable. Learn to swim proficiently, handle a car breakdown, and defend yourself without resorting to violence. Knowing how to handle emergencies, from administering first aid to cooking a meal, will not only serve you well but also enable you to care for others.

Beyond physical prowess, cultivate a range of interests and abilities. Whether it's mastering a musical instrument, learning a foreign language, or understanding the basics of business and finance, strive for well-roundedness. Remember, it's not just about acquiring knowledge but also about applying it in practical situations.

In today's world, social skills are equally important. Learn to communicate effectively, whether it's addressing a crowd or making a toast at a gathering. Being able to express yourself confidently and articulately will open doors professionally and personally.

However, amidst all these skills and accomplishments, remember the importance of humility and empathy. Strive to blend in while standing out in your actions and character. Above all, never lose sight of your individuality and the pursuit of what truly brings you joy and fulfillment.

As you navigate through life, cherish the lessons you learn along the way and never stop growing. I have every confidence that you will become a self-sufficient and well-rounded individual, ready to face whatever challenges come your way.
