My grandmother used to tell me that the best thing that you can do when you are faced with a problem is to just sit down, grab yourself a Coke, and do some thinking. Action is always better than reaction. Too many of the world’s problems are caused by rushing into something before we give ourselves time to think. The things we do today will affect our future – but most importantly the future of our children. If we taught our children at an early age to think things through before reacting, maybe we would not be facing some of the problems we are faced with today. Our kids can do a lot of things, but unfortunately we tend to leave them out. Let’s step in and start discussions with them about the world. Let’s teach them how to be better people and how they can get involved with important issues. And in these particularly hard times, why don’t we make the time to sit down with them, grab a Coke, and do some serious thinking.
