Wisdom from this Amazing 12-Year Old!

The real wisdom of today is coming from our children:

Adora Svitak gave her first TED Talk at twelve years old.

“Coming of age in a digital world, young people like me are redefining ourselves. We are not stock characters in a storybook: the victims in distress waiting to be rescued when the grown-ups arrive, or the narcissistic villains of the “me generation.” Our world is no fairytale. And yet perhaps one of the most precious things about people my age is that, even as we break from the dichotomous assumptions about us as characters within the story, we strive for the same ending. You see, in all the naiveté, or hope, of my youth, I want to believe – no matter how great the conflicts, how vicious the problems-that our story will end with the same oft-heard line as so many childhood tales: “and so they lived happily ever after.”
