Dear Son, you’re 16.
What you are about to read is not me talking to you, it’s me (at 58) talking to a 16-year old me.
Here’s what i’d tell my 16-year old self today.
“You are so inexperienced it’s not even funny. You think you have much of life figured out – you know, how your life will unfold and so on. Not to make you feel bad jeff, but you will literally be wrong, long term, on all the 16-year old beliefs you think are solid right now.”

Wisdom Day began March 6, 2017.
That was yesterday. Last night to be exact.
Made sure to create a calendar event entitled “Wisdom Day for Chapin”.
Last night’s conversation was significant. Chapin was on point, articulate, and grounded.
He also surprised me by saying, “The photos and written descriptions don’t align with who you are.”
Everything he said made sense and was spot on.
i told him to remember this day.
This is the day your wisdom begins for you.
PS. i posted all those photos (above) on facebook yesterday. That alone was not bad, what was misaligned was my motivation for posting them. It leaned to the side of sarcastic humor.
i removed all the photos and updates.
It was the right thing to do, even if Chapin was the only one who probably noticed.

A moment later, his attempt at looking serious was destroyed by his huge smirk and then laughter.
The Freshman is not interested in the new Entrepreneurial Studies class being offered at his High School.
Why?
He said, and i paraphrase: “Being an entrepreneur is too much work and with almost zero percent chance of success.”
Wow, he’s actually paying attention to what i tell him.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
