Wisdom From Kids
by Miki Saxon 
I first wrote about Six Words back in 2009 (here and here) and again in 2013 (here).
Six Word was started by Larry Smith after hearing about Earnest Hemingway.
When challenged to tell a story in six words, Ernest Hemingway came up with “For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.”
I signed up and have since enjoyed all the varied thoughts and ideas offered in just Six Words. More than a million people have contributed their thought6s and ideas..
Last week my email had something special that isn’t online. It came from Larry’s son, Lucas.
From the email.
“I wanted to get involved, so I worked with him to have kids write their best life advice.”
The piece was print only in the special monthly [NYT] kids’ section, but you can read proud dad’s backstory here.
I read The NYT online, but have no access to the print edition. However, Lukas shared his favorites.
The authors may be young, but you could do a lot worse in life than taking their words to heart.
