Here are 258 nuggets of wisdom by internationally-acclaimed sociologist, author, and college professor Dr. Jan Yager. This book was inspired by her older son's imminent departure for college. What should she share with him based on her lifetime of experience and learning? #1 "Studying is like laundry: it's easier if you do some each day and don't let it pile up." #256 - "We recreate externally the chaos we feel internally." #250 "Learn to do as many things yourself as you can but recognize when you need to rely on the expertise of others." #258 "Like all advice, take from these sayings and insights whatever works for you, and leave behind the rest. You are creating your own ROAD SIGNS ON LIFE'S JOURNEY." This gem of a book also includes a place to write down your own sayings as well as to have teachers or loved ones or friends add their advice as well.
