It Just Makes Sense

I'm looking for pearls of wisdom for everyday life. Can you help me?

The other day, a friend and colleague was talking about a car incident that happened to his son. During the course of the conversation, we talked about things related to driving that make for good hand-me-down wisdom to share with our sons or daughters. Here's an example of a wisdom nugget that we both agreed is a good thing to pass along to our young drivers:

Drive the rubber off if the situation merits it! If you get a flat tire and are in an unsafe place to pull over, due to lack of adequate shoulder or any other valid reason, drive on. The trade-off analysis is easy - you can replace the tire or even the rim but your life is irreplaceable.

What are some of the pearls of wisdom that you have or will share with your kids? Would you be willing to share them with me? If so, please make a comment. Thanks!
