One of my favourite quotes is from Charlie ‘Tremendous’ Jones:
You will be, in five years, who you are today except for the books you read and the people you meet.
I’d add to that:
…and the places you visit.
Some of these things are controllable, some aren’t.
For example, we can’t pick all the people we meet, but we can and do choose some of them.
Books, meanwhile, we pretty much choose every time: you don’t read a book by accident. Takes me ages to read a book, that’s why mine are relatively short.
We should point these things out to kids so that they can be more actively involved in where they’re heading based on the people, books and places they engage with.
