Blessed Ignorance of Youth

"If I’d only known..."

Most entrepreneurs say it's a good thing they didn’t know what they were getting into when they started their business—because if they had known what they were getting into they would have never started.

"Why can’t we…?"
Young people are like that. They don’t know what they are getting into. They don’t know mabe they should wait. They don’t think they aren’t ready. They just know they are excited about it and that combined with their energy propels many of them to do amazing things, overcoming all odds!

They Are Doing Amazing Things
It's time for us to recognize the incredible contribution the young make to our lives from business, to science, art, entertainment, as well as even charitable causes.

Let’s Cheer Them On
We would be better served giving them more encouragement when they come up with impossible ideas, because they just may well do it anyway and we might as well be on their sides.

“The young don’t know enough to be prudent, and therefore attempt the impossible—and achieve it, generation after generation." —Pearl S. Buck


When an inexperienced young person comes to you with a new idea about how to do things, what's your first reaction?
