How Important are You?.  Good words of wisdom to live by

Ignorance and Knowledge

“You cannot reason with or rationalize ignorance; you can however erase it with knowledge.”  Karen Maloy

Age and Wisdom

“I remember when I was in my teenage years and thought that old was anything over 30; however, when I reached the ripe old age of 30, I had enough sense to know that I had to glean from the wisdom of my elders.  Imagine my surprise this morning when I realized that I am now one of them.”   – Karen Maloy

Maturity and Responsibility

“Maturity has nothing to do with age. You can be just as immature at the age of 55 as you were at 25, especially if you never learn anything about assuming responsibility.  No one should have to remind you to assume your responsibilities; and if for some reason you can’t, at least be mature enough to face it.  Avoidance is nothing more than burying your head in the sand and pretending that the problem does not exist.” (Excerpt from The Deception of Spiritual Leadership)
