Good Advice for the Young

By John Palma

I consider my book a very rare book due to its various contents of subjects. This book entails many useful real-life experiences. Although its contents are so broad yet they are so fruitful that they overshadow any in-depth individual subject in math, science, or history. Although its contents may be short, they are packed with such powerful tools of knowledge in preparation of a field of lifetime experiences to come. This preparation can touch your soul, your sprit, and your conscience to prepare yourself for an in-depth training of real-life problems and solutions. Now you have the proper road to take, so just follow its path.


This book was written to specifically help the young in focusing more intricately on subjects that schools dont put enough emphasis on or give no interjection at all. These topics that I have written are in addition to your regular school subjects. It is to help you beware of lifes expectancies. There are only two topics I did not include in this book which are just as important, and they are sex education and self-defense. I feel the schools have come a long way with better sex education, but not with self-defense because this might cause problems in a regular school environment. Therefore, with all the topics I mentioned in this book and whatever advice I have given you, it is of utmost importance to do further research and to learn what you can. Im asking you to use this book as a personal guide in your life as I would have used it if it existed when I was younger.

Introduction

Why I Have Written this Book?

This book is specifically written to give advice and opinions to areas that should look into further and be more aware of in life. It is not my intention to teach you, but more to guide you in subject areas that I think will broaden your mind so you will seek further review. Because your are young, most of these topics will seem unimportant or a long way off. But they’re not because your youth, or being a young student, is only a phase in your life that you are going through. And within a ten-year period or less, you will be a young adult and making many decisions on your own. But I’ve given you a tremendous head start on what to focus on for a lifetime. This is to help you to prepare yourselves to be more educated and to have a more fulfilled life by being more aware of the necessities and frequent projection life encounters. The objective is to offer you good advice in being a better person by respecting others and yourself. And to also advance your knowledge on things where schools might not put a stronger emphasis on.
